The present invention inter alia provides a method, and use thereof, of predicting CV events such as AMI, ACS, stroke, and CV death by determining the concentration of at least one ceramide of Formula I or one lysophospholipid of Formula II and/or III and at least one lysophospholipid of Formula IV, V, VI, VII and/or VIII in a biological sample and comparing those concentrations to a control. Finding an increased concentration of the at least one Formula I ceramide or Formula II and/or III lysophospholipid and a decreased concentration of the at least one Formula IV, V, VI, VII and/or VIII lysophospholipid indicates that the subject has an increased risk of developing one or more CV events. The present disclosure also provides a method, and use thereof, of diagnosing subjects suffering acute ischemia. Also provided are kits and compositions comprising the same for use in predicting and/or diagnosing CV events.
本发明特别提供了一种方法及其用途,通过测定
生物样本中至少一种式I神经酰胺或一种式II和/或III溶血
磷脂以及至少一种式IV、V、VI、VII和/或VIII溶血
磷脂的浓度,并将这些浓度与对照组进行比较,从而预测冠心病事件,如
AMI、ACS、中风和冠心病死亡。如果发现至少一种式 I 神经酰胺或式 II 和/或式 III 溶血
磷脂的浓度升高,而至少一种式 IV、V、VI、VII 和/或 VIII 溶血
磷脂的浓度降低,则表明受试者发生一种或多种心血管事件的风险升高。本公开还提供了一种诊断急性缺血患者的方法及其用途。还提供了包含相同成分的试剂盒和组合物,用于预测和/或诊断 CV 事件。
