Myocardial infarction can be detected by saliva

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin (USA) invented a new non-invasive method for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Special chip saliva as a diagnostic material used. The test result can be achieved in 15 minutes. Heart attack is a leading cause of death in developed countries. Typically, patients with myocardial complain of intense burning pain in the chest. However, some patients were painless, lacking under which standard clinical myocardial infarction. In this case, the detection of cardiovascular disease in the preclinical setting is impeded, and the patients do not receive adequate care in time. The new test makes the diagnosis of heart attack, quickly and accurately. U.S. researchers have suggested that certain proteins are elevated in blood plasma indicates cardiovascular disease can also be found in the saliva of the patient, and try to find them with mikrobiochipa. Programmed at the molecular level, the components of a new device in order to determine the level of 32 proteins in saliva. The study, which was attended by 56 patients with myocardial infarction and 59 healthy people, proved the effectiveness of the new invention. According to the results of the experiment, the concentration of protein markers in saliva of heart attacks in the group had a heart attack and remained in the normal range increased in healthy people. Furthermore, the percentage of proteins in saliva correlated significantly with their blood. New diagnostic method is available outside the hospital, and the results of the analysis is on the premises. While scientists proposed device is in clinical trials. The information on the website of the University of Texas at Austin published.
