Abstract

Current diagnostic biomarkers for ACS are mainly represented by troponin I and troponin T. Dosing of these two molecules often leads to false positive results, since their plasma levels can increase in several different systemic settings. Therefore, identification of new markers able to detect patients with acute coronary syndromes is an emerging priority. On this view, many studies have been performed on different microRNAs, mitochondrial peptides, inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules with very promising results. Besides their introduction in screening programs, further studies are now needed in the acute setting, beyond or in association with troponin levels. This will help to better discriminate the real occurrence of an ACS in many patients accessing the emergency department for chest pain.
