Molecular distinction of circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein A in myocardial infarction and pregnancy.
BACKGROUND In the blood of pregnant women, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is present as a covalent complex with the proform of eosinophil major basic protein (proMBP). Recently, increased serum concentrations of PAPP-A have been found in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the circulating PAPP-A in ACS is the same as that in pregnancy...
متن کاملPregnancy-associated plasma protein A in pregnancy-related gynaecologic emergency.
Serum concentrations of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) were measured in patients with pregnancy-related gynaecologic emergencies including ectopic pregnancy (n = 124) and intrauterine abortion (n = 40). The results were compared with those in normal pregnancy (n = 136) and non-pregnant women (n = 460). In ectopic pregnancy and intrauterine abortion, the PAPP-A levels were lower ...
متن کاملComparison of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, troponin and creatine kinase-MB levels in acute coronary syndrome
Background: Early diagnosis and proper treatment of patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic heart disease are important in determining prognosis, preventing adverse effects, and may even save lives. In this study, the level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in ACS patients was compared with the control group, in addition to cardiac Troponin (cTn) and creatine kin...
متن کاملAcute Myocardial Infarction Associated With Pregnancy
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during pregnancy or the early post-partum period is rare but has been shown to be associated with poor maternal as well as fetal outcome. Major changes in both diagnosis and treatment of AMI in the nonpregnant patient have lead to improved outcome which may also affect pregnant patients. The purpose of this paper is to review available information related to th...
متن کاملPregnancy-related myocardial infarction
INTRODUCTION The risk of acute myocardial infarction in young women is low, but increases during pregnancy due to the physiological changes in pregnancy, including hypercoagulability. Ischaemic heart disease during pregnancy is not only associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality, but also with high neonatal complications. Advancing maternal age and other risk factors for cardiov...
