Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 4 Fragments Provide Incremental Prognostic Information on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background Fragments of insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 4 (IGFBP‐4) are potential new biomarkers for cardiac risk assessment. The fragments are generated on specific cleavage by pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A, which exerts proatherogenic activity. This study investigated the progno...
