Clinical Significance of PCSK9 and Soluble P-selectin in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  This study aimed at investigating the association of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) with soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), and their values in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1-year follow-up in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) receiving dual antiplatelet therapy after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A total of 563 patients with ACS who underwent primary PCI were prospectively recruited from March 2020 to June 2021. The baseline levels of PCSK9, sP-selectin, and other platelet reactivity biomarkers were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

sP-selectin and ox-LDL levels significantly increased with increasing PCSK9 tertiles. High sP-selectin was associated with high PCSK9 levels, and PCSK9 was positively correlated with sP-selectin. Patients with both PCSK9 >17.4 ng/mL and sP-selectin >7.2 ng/mL had a significantly higher incidence of MACE than patients with lower levels. Multivariate analysis indicated that high sP-selectin and PCSK9 levels were independent risk factors for MACE, and the combination of PCSK9 and sP-selectin had better predictive value than each biomarker alone.

PCSK9 and sP-selectin may be potential predictive biomarkers for 1-year prognosis in patients with ACS after primary PCI.
