Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cardiovascular disease mainly caused by atherosclerosis, which involves a variety of pathophysiological mechanisms such as lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, and endothelial dysfunction. Fetuin B is a glycoprotein secreted by the liver, which can participate in many processes such as cell inflammation, vascular calcification, and lipid metabolism, and is closely related to the pathogenesis of CAD. This article reviews the relationship between fetuin B and CAD and the mechanism of its occurrence and development, in order to provide new choices and methods for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CAD.
