IHD patients with INOCAD had the greatest increase in MMP-1, whereas patients with obstructive CA disease had the highest level of MMP-9. According to our data, concentrations of MMP-9 and VEGF can be used to predict the degree of CA obstruction. The expression of miRNA-34a was significantly higher in IHD patients with INOCAD and CA obstruction than in the control group, which suggested a miRNA-34a contribution to the development and progression of coronary atherosclerosis. In the future, it may be possible to use this miRNA as a diagnostic marker for IHD.
