METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS AND RISK STRATIFICATION OF ADVERSE EVENTS IN POST MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS USING PRO-ADRENOMEDULLIN

摘要

The invention provides methods for the diagnosis and risk stratification of adverse events in post-myocardial infarction patients by means of proADM, whereby a determination of the marker pro-adrenomedullin or partial sequence or a fragment thereof or contained in a marker combination (panel, cluster) is carried out on a post-myocardial infarction patient. The invention also provides a diagnostic device and a kit for the performance of the method of the method of the invention.

主权项

1. A method for the in vitro diagnosis and/or risk stratification of an adverse event in post-myocardial infarction patients, comprising the step of determining the level of pro-adrenomedullin or partial peptides or fragments thereof from a post-myocardial infarction patient, wherein a significantly elevated level of pro-adrenomedullin correlates with a greater risk of an adverse event in said post-myocardial infarction patient.
