Abstract
The interest in risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), i.e., acute myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina pectoris (AP), has increased considerably within recent years because of improved knowledge of pathology, progress in immunoassays of already existing biochemical markers, introduction of new biochemical markers [especially cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT)], and new methods of treatments.Keywords
