متن کاملPregnancy-associated plasma protein a as predictor of outcome in patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes.
Predictor of Outcome in Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndromes We read with interest the article by Lund et al1 on circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in 136 patients evaluated for suspected acute coronary syndrome without cardiac troponin I elevation. PAPP-A concentrations above 2.9 mIU/L during the first 24 hours independently predicted cardiovascular death, n...
