    The study evaluated the association between the Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI) and 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in HFpEF patients post-myocardial infarction.

  • 2

    A total of 592 patients with HFpEF and documented myocardial infarction were included in the retrospective cohort analysis.

  • 3

    Higher log-transformed IBI was independently linked to an increased risk of 1-year MACE, with a hazard ratio of 1.828.

  • 4

    Incorporating logIBI into the clinical model improved risk discrimination, raising the 365-day AUC from 0.790 to 0.832.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that IBI may serve as a practical measure of inflammatory burden in HFpEF patients, pending further validation.
