Key result
Plasma levels of syndecan-4 were significantly elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (peak 10.5 ng/ml) compared to normal subjects (0.078 ng/ml, p<0.001).
Why the study?
Are plasma levels of syndecan-4 elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to normal subjects?
Observational
Are plasma levels of syndecan-4 elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to normal subjects?
Absolute Event Rate: 10.5% vs 0.078%
p-value: p=< 0.001
Syndecan-4 levels are significantly elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction and its expression is induced by hypoxia, suggesting a potential role in tissue repair.

Elevated syndecan-4 was associated with acute myocardial infarction; leaves open its diagnostic utility and role in tissue repair pending prospective studies.
A 2001 study conducted an observational in Acute Myocardial Infarction. Acute myocardial infarction vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Plasma levels of syndecan-4 (p=< 0.001). Plasma levels of syndecan-4 were significantly elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (peak 10.5 ng/ml) compared to normal subjects (0.078 ng/ml, p<0.001).
