Abstract: Objective: To investigate the impact of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) assisted therapy on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: A total of 180 patients with acute myocardial infarction, admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to January 2024, were randomly divided into the observation group (IABP-assisted therapy) and the control group (conventional treatment), with 90 patients in each group. Results: The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the observation group (16.7%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (44.4%). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improved more significantly, and myocardial injury markers and indicators recovered more rapidly in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: IABP-assisted therapy can significantly reduce the incidence of MACE, improve cardiac function, and enhance the prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
