Resistin as a predictive marker for myocardial injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: High-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) has recently been used as a reference marker to detect myocardial injury in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Atherosclerotic plaque is the primary cause of AMI. Resistin plays a role in endothelial injury processes, inflammatory responses, lipid accumulation, progression of atherosclerotic plaque, plaque rupture, and cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, suggesting its potential relationship to the extent of myocardial injury. We aimed to assess whether resistin is comparable to hs-TnI in diagnosing acute myocardial injury.
