| Summary: Biochemical cardiac markers
play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of patients with acute
coronary syndrome. Three classes of indicators are in use: markers of
myocardial necrosis, markers of inflammation and markers of cardiac
function. Markers of myocardial damage, troponins, are incorporated in new
international guidelines for patients with acute coronary syndrome and
redefinition of myocardial infarction. Markers of cardiac function,
cardiac natriuretic peptides, are using in the diagnosis and clinical
assessment of heart failure. Markers of inflammation in acute coronary
syndrome may help to improve risk stratification and identify patient
groups who might benefit from particular treatment strategies. Some of
them are very well known indicators of inflammation: C-reactive protein,
white blood cell count, sedimentation rate, fibrinogen, and some are under
investigation. Key words: markers of inflammation, markers of necrosis, markers of cardiac function, acute coronary syndrome Note:
