Predictive value of inflammation and myocardial necrosis markers in acute coronary syndrome

Biochemical cardiac markers play an important role in diagnosing and treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome. Markers of myocytes necrosis, troponins, have been recommended for diagnosing and treatment of myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation, myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation and unstable angina pectoris. Two more groups of cardiac markers have been gaining in importance: inflammation markers and cardiac function markers.The objective of this study was the risk stratification and identification of patients with coronary syndrome, who could take advantage from evolutionary, changes of serum cardiac markers.
