Pilot study of myocardial ischemia-induced metabolomic changes in emergency department patients undergoing stress testing.

BACKGROUND:The heart is a metabolically active organ, and plasma acylcarnitines are associated with long-term risk for myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that myocardial ischemia from cardiac stress testing will produce dynamic changes in acylcarnitine and amino acid levels compared to levels se...
