Key result
Cardiac markers play a crucial role in assisting the diagnosis and predicting the risk of acute coronary syndrome, guiding appropriate and timely interventions.
Why the study?
The diagnosis of ACS is not always definitive, and ongoing research aims to develop and refine cardiac markers to improve diagnostic testing and risk prediction.
Cardiac markers aid ACS diagnosis amid uncertainty; leaves open which emerging markers will refine testing and practice.
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is defined as the spectrum of diagnoses from angina to sudden cardiac death caused by ischemic coronary artery disease. Although cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death of adults in the United States, the ability to diagnose ACS is not always definitive. Cardiac markers are laboratory tests that are used to assist in the diagnosis. Research continues to develop new and refine "old" cardiac markers to improve diagnostic testing that then leads to appropriate and timely interventions for patients with ACS. The purpose of this article is to review the cardiac markers and their role in the diagnosing, as well as predicting the risk of ACS.
