Early identification of predictors of adverse outcomes is essential for improving risk stratification. Methods: This retrospective study included 512 STEMI patients who underwent coronary revascularization within 6 h of symptom onset. Clinical, laboratory, angiographic and echocardiographic variables were analyzed. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF &lt; 40%) and moderate-to-severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were identified using multivariable logistic regression, while secondary outcomes were described to characterize the study population. Model performance was evaluated using ROC analysis. Results: In-hospital mortality occurred in 9.4% of patients. Reduced LVEF was present in 26.2%, and IMR in 10.9%. Independent predictors of mortality included LVEF &lt; 40% (OR 5.72, 95% CI 2.77\u201311.80, p &lt; 0.001), IMR (OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.14\u20135.97, p = 0.023), lower hemoglobin levels (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.61\u20130.91, p = 0.003), and reduced glomerular filtration rate (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.95\u20130.98, p &lt; 0.001). The model demonstrated good discrimination (AUC 0.88). Complete revascularization was not independently associated with mortality. Conclusions: Left ventricular dysfunction, IMR, anemia, and renal impairment are strong predictors of in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients. Integrating echocardiographic and laboratory parameters may improve early risk stratification and guide clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15093256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]],"date-time":"2026-04-24T14:28:23Z","timestamp":1777040903000},"page":"3256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Early Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality and Cardiac Dysfunction in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Early Revascularization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0855-938X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corina","family":"Cinezan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital Bihor, 410169 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra Manuela","family":"Buzle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital Bihor, 410169 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, University of Oradea, 410087 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9229-2656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camelia Bianca","family":"Rus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Disciplines, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Oradea, 410073 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Clinical County Emergency Hospital Bihor, 410169 Oradea, Romania"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, University of Oradea, 410087 Oradea, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3720","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehad191","article-title":"2023 ESC Guidelines for the Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes","volume":"44","author":"Byrne","year":"2023","journal-title":"Eur.
