An effective disease diagnostic model related to pyroptosis in ischemic cardiomyopathy

Pyroptosis is involved in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). The study aimed to investigate the pyroptosis‐related genes and clarify their diagnostic value in ICM. The bioinformatics method identified the differential pyroptosis genes between the normal control and ICM samples from online datasets. Then, protein–protein interaction (PPI) and function analysis were carried out to explore the function of these genes. Following, subtype analysis was performed using ConsensusClusterPlus, functions, immune score, stromal score, immune cell proportion and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes between subtypes were investigated. Moreover, optimal pyroptosis genes were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis to construct a diagnostic model and evaluate its effectiveness using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis. Twenty‐one differential expressed pyroptosis genes were identified, and these genes were related to immune and pyroptosis. Subtype analysis identified two obvious subtypes: sub‐1 and sub‐2. And LASSO identified 13 optimal genes used to construct the diagnostic model. The diagnostic model in ICM diagnosis with the area under ROC (AUC) was 0.965. Our results suggested that pyroptosis was tightly associated with ICM.
