ABSTRACT: Objective
This study aimed to explore the association between plasma big endothelin-1 (ET-1) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in CAD patients who underwent PCI with a focus on the influence of kidney function and diabetes status in secondary prevention.Methods
A prospective cohort of CAD patients underwent PCI and patients with impaired kidney function and diabetes were initially screened and categorized separately, subdivided based on ET-1 levels. The primary outcome was MACE, including all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization, and stroke. Statistical analyses included Cox regression, competing risks analysis (competing for non-cardiovascular death), and restricted cubic spline to assess the relationships between ET-1 a
