Levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A in patients with coronary artery disease.
PURPOSE To investigate the levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) or insulin-like growth factor -1 (IGF-1) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS Serum PAPP-A and IGF-1 was measured with biotin-tyramide-amplified enzyme immunoassay and Enzyme Linked Immuoserbent Assay, respectively, in patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI, n=12), unstable ...

متن کاملComparison of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, troponin and creatine kinase-MB levels in acute coronary syndrome
Background: Early diagnosis and proper treatment of patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic heart disease are important in determining prognosis, preventing adverse effects, and may even save lives. In this study, the level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in ACS patients was compared with the control group, in addition to cardiac Troponin (cTn) and creatine kin...
متن کاملLevel of Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A Correlates With Coronary Thin-cap Fibroatheroma Burden in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) level is an independent predictor of acute cardiovascular event occurrence. To test the hypothesis that increased PAPP-A levels would be associated with a higher burden of coronary thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) thereby underlying the heightened risk for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease; 154 patients (462 vessels and 97...
متن کاملEvaluation of iron status in patients with coronary artery disease
Background: Iron can causes lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Iron promotes myocardial injury in experimental animals. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by oxidants including iron have a central role in atherosclerotic process. By this means, evaluation of serum iron in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant importance. Materials and Methods: In this cross s...
