- Abstract
Aims Cardiac markers such as troponin T (c-TnT) have proven unsuitable for the detection of early and transient myocardial ischaemia. We recently reported that abrupt elevation of serum deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) activity in the early stage of acute myocardial infarction could be used as a diagnostic marker. To evaluate whether serum DNase I could be used as a marker of early myocardial ischaemia, we investigated alterations in its levels after transient ischaemia induced during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
