Abstract

A multitude of biomarkers have been suggested for early risk-assessment in patients admitted to the emergency department with suspected acute coronary syndromes. We used logistic regression synergistically with classification and regression tree (CART) analysis to define a multimarker strategy and the cut-off values and sequencing needed to optimize risk stratification in a low to moderate risk population of the emergency department. 432 unselected patients (59.7+/-14.5 y, 60.4% male) admitted to the emergency department (ED) with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) were enrolled. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro-B-Type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), placental growth factor (PlGF), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) and D-dimers were measured by immunoassay and whole blood choline (WBCHO) and plasma choline (PLCHO) were measured using LC/MS from baseline samples. Logistic regression and CART analysis were used to define the importance of the various biomarkers tested and to define their hierarchy with respect to the prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE; cardiac death, non-fatal MI, unstable angina, CHF requiring admission, urgent PCI and CABG) ove...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
