Evaluation of Fibrosis Markers as a Potential Method for Diagnosing Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Aim. To study the levels of fibrosis markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and various types of coronary artery (CA) lesions (obstructive and non-obstructive), to identify possible differences for diagnosing the types of coronary obstruction.Material and methods.

description Aim. To study the levels of fibrosis markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and various types of coronary artery (CA) lesions (obstructive and non-obstructive), to identify possible differences for diagnosing the types of coronary obstruction.Material and methods. The observational study included three groups of patients: with non-obstructive (main group, coronary artery stenosis <50%; n=20) and obstructive (comparison group, hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis according to the results of coronary angiography; n=20) CAD and healthy volunteers (control group; n=40). Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) levels were measured in plasma by enzyme immunoassay. According to the results of echocardiography, all patients included in the study were divided into four groups depending on the type of myocardial remodeling.Results. TGF-β1 levels were significantly higher in patients with obstructive CAD (p=0.008) than in patients with non-obstructive CAD and healthy volunteers (p <0.001). There were no significant differences between the main and control groups (p>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in TGF-β1 levels depending on the type of left ventricular remodeling (p=0.139). The maximum level of MMP-9 was in the group with obstructive coronary disease and significantly differed from the main group (p <0.001) and the control group (p=0.04).Conclusio. The maximum levels of TGF-β1 and MMP-9 were found in the group with obstructive coronary artery disease. The levels of these biomarkers in the main group were statistically different from the values obtained in the control group. Thus, considering the pathogenesis of the development of non-obstructive CAD, the use of fibrosis markers TGF-β1 and MMP-9 may be promising for diagnosing the severity of CA obstruction.
