Objective: To analyze the influencing factors of the clinical effect of ivabradine (Ivab) combined with metoprolol succinate (Met-S) in patients with heart failure (HF), and to construct and verify the nomogram prediction model, in order to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods: 250 cases of HF patients from January 2021 to June 2023 were selected. The relevant factors affecting the therapeutic effect were screened out through univariate and multivariate analysis. The nomogram prediction model was constructed, and the model was verified and evaluated using Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Single factor and multiple factor analyses showed that LVEF, LVEDD, 6MWT, heart rate and BNP level were the independent risk factors for clinical effects (P<0.05). C-index was 0.856 (95% CI: 0.798–0.914) for the training set and 0.816 (95% CI: 0.732–0.900) for the testing set, the calibration curve showed good consistency, and DCA analysis indicated that the model had clinical application value. Conclusion: LVEF, LVEDD, 6MWT, heart rate and BNP level affect the clinical effect of Ivab combined with Met-S in patients with HF. The nomogram prediction model established has high accuracy and clinical application value.
