Objective To investigate the relationship between serum arginase-1(Arg-1),thrombomodulin motif 9(ADAMTS-9),Ectodysplasin A and cardiac function after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI),and their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE).Methods A total of 102 AMI patients who underwent PCI in the Third Medical Center of People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the AMI group,and 110 healthy people were recruited as the control group.The serum levels of Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Echocardiography was performed by color Doppler ultrasound,and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)was calculated.Patients were divided into MACE group(n=32)and non-MACE group(n=70)according to the occurrence of MACE.Pearson correla-tion analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum Arg-1,ADAMTS-9,Ectodysplasin A levels and LVMI after PCI in AMI patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A levels for MACE in AMI patients after PCI.Z test was used to compare the area under the curve(AUC).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of MACE in patients with AMI.Results Compared with the con-trol group,the AMI group had significantly higher serum levels of Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A(P<0.05).The serum levels of Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A in patients with AMI were positively correlated with LVMI(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in gender,body mass index,systolic blood pressure,heart rate,history of diabetes,diastolic blood pressure,smoking history,time from onset to treatment,drinking history,age,course of disease,and LVMI between MACE group and non-MACE group(P>0.05).The serum levels of Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A in the MACE group were higher than those in the non-MACE group(P<0.05).Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A were independent risk factors for MACE in AMI patients(P<0.05).The AUC of serum Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A levels in predicting MACE in AMI patients were 0.821,0.779,0.818 and 0.950,respectively.The combined prediction value of the three was higher than that of individual prediction(Z=3.137,3.702,2.699,P=0.002,<0.001,0.007).Conclusion The serum levels of Arg-1,ADAMTS-9 and Ectodysplasin A are increased in AMI patients,and they have certain predictive value for the occurrence of MACE in AMI patients after PCI.
