Objective: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) such as unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or sudden ischemic death evolve from coronary thrombosis and as a consequence of atherosclerotic plaque disruption. “Aspirin resistance” is a poorly defined term to describe the inability...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the importance of serum pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels as an early marker before an acute myocardial infarction due to a high risk atherosclerotic plaque rupture and the relationship between PAPP-A and...

Aim: Early risk classification after acute myocardial infarction is very important for the prediction of complications. In this study, it was aimed to find the most sensitive panel in the prediction of prognosis after acute myocardial infarction by multi-biomarker...

Objective: The synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) which is claimed to cause early mortal damage during the first moments of coronary reperfusion, is reported to be induced in-vitro by oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL). The in- vivo changes in MMP-1, it's...

Objective: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a group of symptoms for acute myocardial ischemia. The RDW (red cell distribution width), recently described as a novel risk marker, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and routinely reported as part...

Aim: /b> In this study, we evaluated the analytical performance and diagnostic adequacy of the activity and mass methods used for the measurement of CK-MB, a laboratory marker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In addition, the differences between CK-MB...
