ABSTRACT: This study explores the predictive value of plasma a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 (ADAMTS-5) levels for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). 595 patients admitted to our hospital were selected. Initially, the serum ADAMTS-5 levels of subjects were analyzed. Subsequently, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed. Furthermore, the serum levels of ADAMTS-5 were assessed in patients, and based on CAD severity, they were categorized into stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) groups, with the aim of examining the relationship between ADAMTS-5 levels and CAD severity. Differences in clinical outcomes between patients with high and low levels of ADAMTS-5 were analyzed during the follow-up period. The study found that the serum levels of ADAMTS-5 were significantly higher in the group of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to the group without CAD, indicating its potential as a diagnostic marker for CAD. The ADAMTS-5 levels in the serum of STEMI patients were higher than those with SAP, while NSTEMI patients showed higher levels of ADAMTS-5 than the UA group. There was a positive correlation between serum ADAMTS-5 levels and the syntax score in CAD patients, suggesting a potential association with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study indicates that ADAMTS-5 shows promise as a biomarker for CAD and highlights the need for further research and validation.
