Sex Differences in the Prognostic Value of Circulating Biomarkers in Patients Presenting With Acute Chest Pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biomarkers are used for long-term risk prediction of cardiovascular (CV) events in patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndromes.

Objectives

This study investigated whether there are sex differences in the long-term prognostic value of biomarkers in patients presenting with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Methods

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), hs-cTnI, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15, and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were measured in 1,476 patients admitted with suspected NSTE-ACS. Patients were followed up for a median of 1,547 (IQR: 873-1,842) days until a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, incident
