FATTY ACID MARKERS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

摘要

Methods of detecting myocardial infarction are disclosed based on elevated levels of one or more free fatty acids. The methods may comprise detection of elevated levels of total free fatty acids in a sample relative to average total free fatty acid levels in a control subject without myocardial infarction. Also disclosed are methods to detect myocardial infarction comprising detection of elevated levels of individual free fatty acids in a sample relative to those levels in a control subject and methods comprising determining whether the molar ratio of total free fatty acids to HSA is indicative of myocardial infarction.
