Rule out of acute aortic dissection with plasma matrix metalloproteinase 8 in the emergency department
INTRODUCTION Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in aortic pathophysiology. Preliminary studies have detected increased plasma levels of MMP8 and MMP9 in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). However, the performance of plasma MMP8 and MMP9 for the diagnosis of AAD in the emergency department is at present unknown. METHODS The levels of MMP8 and MMP9 were measured by ELISA on...
متن کامل[D-dimer in acute aortic dissection].
D-dimer measurement is widely accepted as a diagnostic test for pulmonary embolism in cases in which a negative value has a high predictive power. We present two cases of acute thoracic aortic dissection with particularly high D-dimer values and discuss the diagnostic value of D-dimer as an initial test with suspected aortic dissection.
متن کاملD-dimer in ruling out acute aortic dissection: a systematic review and prospective cohort study.
AIMS Blood D-dimer testing has been proposed as diagnostic marker with high sensitivity for exclusion of acute aortic dissection (AAD). We performed a systematic review and validated the findings in a prospective patient cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and BIOSIS from inception until January 2007 using a combination of search terms for aortic dissection and D-...
متن کاملValue of d-dimer testing in acute aortic dissection.
Aortic Dissection To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent review on etiology, diagnosis and management in aortic dissection.1 In their discussion on diagnostic strategies, the authors state that useful biomarkers for aortic dissection are currently absent. We recently reported on 24 patients with acute aortic dissection in whom D-dimer, a degradation product of cross-linked fibrin...
متن کاملD-dimer as a Biomarker for Acute Aortic Dissection
To perform a meta-analysis and examine the use of D-dimer levels for diagnosing acute aortic dissection (AAD). Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched until April 23, 2014, using the following search terms: biomarker, acute aortic dissection, diagnosis, and D-dimer. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of acute aortic dissection, D-dimer levels obtained, 2-armed study. Outcome ...
