Plasma bio-adrenomedullin is a marker of acute heart failure severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The assessment of acute heart failure (AHF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is challenging. This study tested whether measuring plasma adrenomedullin in patients admitted for ACS provides valuable information regarding the presence of AHF at admission or its occurrence during hospitalization. ⋯ Plasma adrenomedullin is a marker associated with AHF severity in patients with ACS.
