RT - Journal Article T1 - Measuring Cardiac Biomarkers after Angioplasty and Their Prognostic Value JF - J-Mazand-Univ-Med-Sci YR - 2011 JO - J-Mazand-Univ-Med-Sci VO - 20 IS - 1 UR - http://jmums.mazums.ac.ir/article-1-980-en.html SP - 344 EP - 352 K1 - Cardiac biomarkers K1 - angioplasty K1 - Percutareous Coronary Intervention K1 - acute coronary syndrome AB - The importance of cardiac biomarkers in the prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome is clear. However, there are some controversies regarding measuring these cardiac biomarkers post angioplasty through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In this study we will review the importance of increased cardiac biomarkers after elective PCI on the prognosis of patients. Also, the definition of myocardial infarction related to PCI, the mechanisms of increasing of cardiac biomarkers post PCI and its prospects have been discussed.
