PCSK9 levels do not predict severity and recurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction

It remains unclear whether serum PCSK9 levels can predict the severity of the disease and the risk of future events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to evaluate the association between PCSK9 levels, metabolic parameters, severity of CAD on coronary angiography (SYNTAX score), and the risk of in-hospital events and at one-year follow-up.
