A Nomogram Based on Apelin-12 for the Prediction of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention among Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Figure 2

Nomogram predicting 1- and 2-year major adverse cardiovascular events probability for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The nomogram allows the clinician to determine the probability of the 1-year and 2-year risk for an individual patient using a combination of covariates. Using the patient’s age, you can draw a vertical line from that variable to the points scale. After repeating the process for each variable, the scores for each variable can be summed and located on the “Total Points” axis. Finally, a vertical line can be drawn straight down from the plotted total point axis to the probability axis to locate the likelihood of 1-year and 2-year risk.
