METHOD FOR STAGING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND FOR MONITORING EFFICACY OF INTERVENTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the stage of myocardial infarction in a subject showing a ST segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for identifying a subject being susceptible to cardiac intervention, wherein the subject suffers from a ST segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). The methods of the present invention are based on the determination of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1), heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and a cardiac troponin or a variant thereof in a sample of said subject, and comparing the amounts of sFLT-1, H-FABP, and the cardiac troponin to at least one reference amount. Also comprised by the present invention are kits or devices to carry out the methods of the present invention.
