About the ACVC Study Group on Biomarkers
Background
The ACVC Study Group on Biomarkers was established by Kristian Thygesen (DK) in 2005 with the intention of creating 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, this group became successful and independent and now focuses on the proper clinical application of cardiac biomarkers including troponins, natriuretic peptides, and inflammatory and thrombotic markers in acute cardiac care.
Objectives
- disseminating knowledge about the proper clinical application of cardiac biomarkers in acute cardiovascular care;
- advising on the appropriate application of biomarkers in cardiovascular research;
- creating recommendations/guidelines for implementation of cardiac biomarkers in acute cardiac care; and
- being a counselling source for authorities regarding the appropriate clinical use of cardiac biomarkers.
Our mission: To reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.
