Association of circulating proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 concentration, prothrombin time and cardiovascular outcomes: a prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is considered to have multiple roles in the development of atherosclerosis, which is recently reported to participate in the thrombotic process. We aimed to examine the relationship between PCSK9 concentration, coagulation ind...

Methods A total of 2293 consecutive patients with angina-like chest pain and without lipid-lowering drugs treatment were enrolled and followed up for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Circulating PCSK9 concentration was determined by ELISA. The routine coagulation tests including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time were performed. The associations between PCSK9 concentration, routine coagulation indicators and MACEs were analyzed. Results Patients with high PCSK9 levels had lower PT and APTT levels (all p <  0.05). However, PCSK9 concentration was only independently and negatively correlated with PT (β = − 0.115, p <  0.001). During a mean of 38.3 months, 186 (8.1%) MACEs were occurred.

Conclusions Our study firstly suggested that PCSK9 concentration was negatively correlated with plasma levels of PT.
