Article Synopsis
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a significant health issue globally, leading to high mortality rates and disability among patients, with GDF-15 emerging as a critical biomarker in cardiovascular disease research.
- A study involving 70 ACS patients found a strong correlation between elevated GDF-15 levels and adverse outcomes within five years, with a specific GDF-15 threshold predicting complications with reasonable accuracy.
- The findings suggest that measuring GDF-15 within the first 24 hours post-ACS can help identify patients at higher risk of poor long-term outcomes.
