Abstract Aims Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible predictive value of blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) for the LVA formation in acute ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and results A total of 1123 consecutive patients with STEMI were prospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between LVA group and non‐LVA group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the independent risk factors of LVA formation. Predictive power of BAR and composite variable for LVA formation were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve. LVA was detected in 162 patients (14.4%). The BAR was significantly higher in patients with LVA [0.16 (0.13–0.19) vs. 0.13 (0.10–0.17), P
