Study summary

The objective of the study is to assess the performance characteristics of Apo J-Glyc as a novel biomarker for the early detection of myocardial ischaemia in patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes.

Read the detailed description

This in vitro diagnosis clinical validation will test the Performance Characteristics of Apo J-Glyc measured with a novel in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test. Blood samples from eligible consenting subjects will be collected at hospital admission, throughout different post admission times (1h, 3h, 24h and 72h or discharge). The quantification of circulating Apo J-Glyc levels will be analysed in correlation with clinical data providing information about Apo J-Glyc as an ischaemia biomarker and its diagnostic and 6-months prognostic value.
