Declarations
:
: Our study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as relevant national and institutional guidelines for human research. The study received approval from the Medical Ethics Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Nationality Hospital (Approval No.: 2024–65). The de-identified data records from the cardiovascular department that we accessed and analyzed were authorized by Guangxi Nationality Hospital. These data were collected and maintained in compliance with the hospital's patient data management policies and procedures. Given that our study involved only a retrospective analysis of existing medical records, with no direct interaction with patients and no potential for causing any substantial harm, the Medical Ethics Committee of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Nationality Hospital determined that individual patient informed consent was not required. Nonetheless, we have ensured that all data used in the study were fully anonymized and protected, adhering to the highest standards of confidentiality and privacy.
