Prognostic Value of Cardiovascular Risk of sST2 and Troponin I-hs in Patients With Acute Chest Pain
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The role of the sST2 biomarker has been widely explored in heart failure, so much so that it was included in the AHA guidelines in 2013 and 2017. Recently, several studies are proposing a role of sST2 in the prognostic stratification of patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and ischemic heart disease, in association with other biomarkers even proposing a possible therapeutic differentiation. The combined use of sST2 with high-sensitivity troponins could be a promising strategy to identify those patients who, despite having early rule-out after evaluation at the Emergency Department, have a higher risk of onset of cardiovascular events in the medium-long term.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Evaluate sST2 predictive value's [24 months]
Evaluate the medium-long term (1 year) predictive value of the sST2 biomarker in the heart patients attending at the Emergency Department for non-STEMI Acute Chest Pain.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Compare sST2 prognostic value with troponins [24 months]
Compare the prognostic value of the new biomarker with highly sensitive troponins, for which there is already evidence in the literature
- Create a multiparametric algorithm/score [36 months]
Integrate the sST2 values in a multiparametric algorithm/score for the differential diagnosis and risk stratification in medium/long-term complications.
