METHOD FOR PREDICTING LETHAL OUTCOME IN 6 MONTHS FOLLOWING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

摘要

A method for predicting the lethal outcome in 6 months following the acute myocardial infarction comprises the conventional clinical and instrumental examinations, clinical and biochemical blood analysis. As the additional prognostic criterion, the content of the heart-type fatty acid binding protein HFABP is measured, the age, the type of the acute heart failure according to Killip classification, the blood plasma glucose content are also taken into account. The prognostic criterion is defined as follows: (PC = PCage + PCHF Killip + PCHFABP + PCglucose wherein PCage, PCHF Killip, PCHFABP, PCglucose represent the prognostic criteria for the age, the type of the acute heart failure according to Killip classification, the blood plasma glucose content. When (PC 0, the high probability of the lethal outcome in 6 months following the acute myocardial infarction is predicted. When (PC 0, the probability of the lethal outcome in 6 months following the acute myocardial infarction is low.
