Elevated Thiol Levels: A New Marker of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Acute Coronary Syndrome?
Bruno Ferraz de Oliveira Gomes
This Short Editorial is referred by the Research article "Association between Plasma Thiol Parameters and Troponin Levels in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Prediction of In-Hospital Ventricular Arrhythmia".
Ventricular arrhythmias in patients with acute coronary syndrome are not frequent, but they lead to a greater occurrence of complications and death., Its prevalence is higher in infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) and has a worse prognosis when it occurs 48 hours after admission. Thus, a marker capable of predicting the occurrence of these events is welcome.
Three mechanisms justify the occurrence of arrhythmias in the acute phase of the infarction:
