Article Synopsis
  • Malondialdehyde (MDA) is identified as a potential predictor of inhospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a condition with limited research on this marker compared to stable angina pectoris.
  • The study involved 556 ACS patients, using leftover plasma samples to analyze various blood markers, including MDA, troponin, and others, in relation to inhospital mortality.
  • Results showed that MDA levels, along with age and creatine, were independent predictors of inhospital mortality, with an optimal MDA cutoff value of >33.1 providing high sensitivity (85%) and specificity (88.17%) for predicting outcomes.
