We recently reported that the pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) form specifically related to acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is not complexed with the proform of eosinophil major basic protein (proMBP). The aim of this study was to develop rapid point-of-care immunoassays for the measurement of the noncomplexed PAPP-A.
