Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential correlations and differences between patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and controls. Emphasis was placed on examining the relationship between arterial blood gas PH value and arterial blood gas lactate value as well as assessing the utility of the Peripheral Perfusion Index (PI) in ACS management. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted between January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2023, involving 60 ACS patients and 30 control subjects in an emergency department. The diagnosis of ACS was confirmed by experienced emergency physicians, and various parameters, such as peripheral perfusion index, blood gas values, and cardiac biomarker values, were collected. The statistical analyses included Pearson’s chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Student’s t-test, and others, using SPSS version 18.0. There were significant differences in the mean age, perfusion index, and lactate levels between the patient and control groups. A robust negative correlation was found between age and PI, and a moderate negative correlation was observed between pH and lactate levels (r = -0.301, p=0.004). The perfusion index in the patient group was significantly lower, indicating its potential diagnostic utility. The findings demonstrate the importance of arterial blood gas pH and lactate values in understanding ACS patient profiles, emphasizing the potential of PI as a noninvasive diagnostic method. The negative correlation between pH and lactate levels may offer valuable insights into risk stratification and treatment strategies for patients with ACS.
