Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A values in patients with stable cardiovascular disease: use of a new monoclonal antibody-based assay.

Background: PAPP-A is promising in improving risk stratification and invasive treatment decisions in stable cardiovascular patients. We evaluated the prognostic value of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) measured by a novel assay in stable cardiovascular patients.

Methods: We investigated 228 stable cardiovascular outpatients.

High-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) values in patients with stable cardiovascular disease: an initial foray.

Background: How to use the information from novel high sensitivity troponin assays in stable cardiac patients is unclear. Preliminary data from randomized controlled trial analyses suggest it helps with risk stratification. We investigated the determinants, diagnostic impact and prognostic value of a novel high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay in patients with stable cardiac disease.
