Biomarkers Study Group

of the Association for Acute CardioVascular Care

Established by Kristian Thygesen (DK) in 2005 with the intention to create a support group for the Global Task Force for the Definition of Myocardial Infarction (later called Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (UDMI).

In addition to supporting the UDMI, the Biomarker Study Group developed into a successful and independent study group focusing on the proper clinical application of cardiac biomarkers including troponins, natriuretic peptides, and inflammatory and thrombotic markers in acute cardiac care.



Aims

  • Disseminate knowledge about the proper clinical application of cardiac biomarkers in acute cardiac care. 
  • Advise on the appropriate application of biomarkers in cardiovascular research. 
  • Promote opportunities for composing guidelines for implementation of cardiac biomarkers in acute cardiac care.
  • Be a counselling source for authorities regarding the appropriate clinical use of cardiac biomarkers.
