The invention also relates to a method for prognosing ACS in a subject, the method comprising measuring plasma MIF concentration in a sample from the subject, diagnosing ACS when the subject plasma MIF concentration is greater than a reference plasma MIF concentration, and prognosing the magnitude of ACS from the subject plasma MIF concentration. Also provided is a method of treating ACS in a subject, a device, a kit, and a cardiac biomarker related to the methods of diagnosing and prognosing ACS.</p> |
