BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Previous studies have not found a consistent association between circulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels and the risk of cardiovascular events partly due to measurement methods that cannot distinguish between uncleaved and furin-cleaved forms of PCSK9.
METHODS: This is a prespecified sub-study of the REAL-CAD study which is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial to compare high- versus low-dose statin in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The primary endpoint was major adverse cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events (MACCE) defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring emergency hospitalization. In this case-cohort study, serum mature (uncleaved) and furin-cleaved PCSK9 levels obtained at 6 months after randomization were measured among 426 participants who developed MACCE (cases) and 1,478 randomly selected participants (sub-cohort).
RESULTS: From 1,478 patients in the sub-cohort, the Cox proportional hazards models with a pseudolikelihood method for case-cohort design revealed that the risk of the primary endpoint in patients with the highest quartile of mature PCSK9 levels was similar to that in the lowest quartile (hazard ratio [HR] 0.809; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 0.541-1.209). Similarly, the HR for the highest to lowest quartiles of furin-cleaved PCSK9 was 0.948 (95% CI, 0.645-1.392) (P = 0.784). Compared to the lowest quartile, neither serum mature nor furin-cleaved PCSK9 levels predicted MACCE.
CONCLUSIONS: In a large-scale secondary prevention cohort, serum mature and furin-cleaved PCSK9 levels did not provide useful information for predicting future cardiovascular events in statin-treated patients with stable CAD.
