Association of soluble ST2 and infarct location within 12-24 h in STEMI: A cross-sectional study.

Background: ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) causes the release of soluble ST2 biomarkers at high level on acute phase. However, sST2 has never been used as adjunct biomarker in ESC/AHA guideline for STEMI. Furthermore, the specific onset that sST2 may have role in acute phase of STEMI related with infarct location has not been established.
