Clinical Trial: Myeloid-Related Protein in Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain in the Emergency Departement
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Study of Myeloid-related Protein 8/14 and Additional Biomarkers (Multi Marker Approach) for Early Diagnosis and Risk Stratification in Patients Presenting With Acute Chest Pain at the Emergency Depart
Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is the evaluation of multiple biomarkers related to acute coronary syndromes, including myeloid-related protein 8/14 (MRP 8/14), along with established clinical markers, for early diagnosis and risk stratification in patients presenting with acute chest pain at the emergency department.
Study hypothesis: MRP 8/14, alone or together with other established or new biomarkers, increases the earliness, sensitivity, and specificity of diagnosing acute coronary syndromes.
