This study found a significant association between higher circulating RBP4 levels and increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable CAD.
BackgroundThe predictive role of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) in the adverse prognosis of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been well-defined. We thus conducted this cohort study to investigate the association between circulating RBP4 level and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in Chinese patients with stable CAD. MethodsPatients with stable CAD and serum RBP4 concentration measurement at admission between July 2012 and January 2015 were included. The primary outcome in this study was incident MACEs, which included acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and cardiovascular death. Cox proportional hazards regression was adopted to investigate the association between RBP4 and the incidence of MACEs. ResultsA total of 840 patients with stable CAD were analyzed. The mean age of patients was 61.2 +/- 15.9 years, and 56.1% of them were men. After a median follow-up of 2.3 years, 129 MACEs were observed. Compared to participants exposed to the first quartile of serum RBP4 level, those in the second, the third, and the fourth quartiles had associated hazard ratios (HRs) of 2.38 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.33-4.26], 2.35 (95% CI: 1.31-4.21), and 2.27 (95% CI: 1.28-4.04) after adjusted for confounders, respectively. Every 5 mu g/ml increment in serum RBP4 concentration was associated with an adjusted HR of 1.13 (95% CI: 1.05-1.22) for the occurrence of MACEs. Subgroup analyses suggested no significant modifying effects of baseline characteristics for the association between RBP4 and MACEs in patients with stable CAD. ConclusionOur finding suggested that the higher circulating RBP4 level was significantly associated with an increased risk of MACEs in patients with stable CAD.
