The Role of Ischemia Modified Albumin in Diagnosis

The Role of Ischemia Modified Albumin in Diagnosis

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find the role of IMA in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in ischemic and nonischemic groups amongst different age groups and gender variance. Diagnosis of myocardial ischemia has been done using other biomarkers such as troponin. However, their lower diagnostic accuracy, in addition to lower symptoms specificity has made them unreliable. IMA is present in high levels in cardiac ischemic patients. Many studies have been done on the role of other biomarkers such as troponin to gender and different age groups of ischemic patients (Rodriguez-Ospina, 331; Wiviott et al, 1415). Therefore, further research needs to be done…
