Insights
Identifying key metabolic indicators can help predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease (CAD). These simple markers offer crucial insights for improving patient outcomes and guiding clinical decisions.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Metabolic Medicine
- Biomarker Discovery
Background:
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a primary treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD), yet major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remain a significant concern post-procedure.
- Early identification of high-risk patients and proactive risk factor management are vital for improving prognosis after PCI.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and synthesize easily obtainable metabolic indicators for predicting prognosis in CAD patients following PCI.
- To integrate diverse metabolic markers for precise prognostication and enhanced clinical decision-making.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on recent studies identifying metabolic biomarkers for CAD patient prognosis after PCI.
- Categorization of predictive indicators into four groups: blood lipids, blood glucose, nutrition-related, and kidney-related metabolites.
Main Results:
- Simple, accessible metabolic indicators demonstrate early predictive value for CAD patient prognosis post-PCI.
- Four key categories of metabolic indicators show promise: lipids, glucose, nutrition, and kidney function markers.
Conclusions:
- Metabolic indicators offer a valuable, practical approach to prognostication in CAD patients after PCI.
- Further integration of these markers can deepen mechanistic understanding and support evidence-based clinical strategies for MACE risk reduction.
Abstract:
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has made significant progress as one of the main treatments for coronary artery disease (CAD), but the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after PCI remains high. Therefore, early identification of high-risk CAD patients after PCI and improvement of risk factors are crucial for patient prognosis. Although various prognostic biomarkers related to CAD have been identified, most of them have not been widely applied in clinical practice. Recent studies have found that some simple and easily obtainable metabolic indicators have early predictive value for the prognosis of CAD patients after PCI, mainly including four categories: blood lipids and related metabolites, blood glucose and related metabolites, nutrition-related metabolites, and kidney-related metabolites. This review synthesizes the four aforementioned categories of indicators with the aim of integrating their unique characteristics to enable precise prognostication in patients after PCI, deepen mechanistic insights, and furnish evidence-based guidance for clinical decision-making.
