Diagnostic efficacy of ischemia modified albumin and its correlation with lipid profile, oxidative stress in acute myocardial infarct patients on admission

Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and its correlation with lipid profile, oxidative stress in acute myocardial infarct (AMI) patients attending Cardiology Emergency Department (ED). Methods: At presentation serum IMA in conjunction with electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac troponin T (CTnT) was evaluated in 35 AMI patients attending the ED within 6 hours of chest pain. These patients were subjected to standardized diagnostic procedures and treatment. Thirty five healthy volunteers were enrolled as control. Results: IMA showed a higher level in ischemic patients than in control with the highest sensitivity (77%) in comparison to CTnT and ECG. With CTnT or ECG, IMA documented a sensitivity of 83% and 88%, respectively. Whereas with both CTnT and ECG, IMA identified 94% of AMI patients with the highest negative predictive value (90%). Conclusions: IMA has evolved as a cost effective, highly sensitive, early diagnostic marker of cardiac ischemia and an earlier rule out test in AMI patients.
