“…An early metabolomics study showed that 1H-NMR spectroscopy could correctly diagnose the presence of CAD and assess its severity [40]. Other applications of NMR-based metabolic profiling in ACS mainly include analysis of both urine [36] and serum [33,34] metabolites for unstable angina pectoris disease, investigating the serum metabolic characteristics of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in comparison with those of chest pain controls [41], and deciphering the metabolomic fingerprint of coronary blood in STEMI patients [42]. Abbreviations: STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction; NSTEMI, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction; NSTEACS, non-ST-elevation ACS; NOCAD, nonobstructive coronary artery disease; AMI, acute myocardial infarction; AHF, acute heart failure; MI, myocardial infarction; SA, stable angina pectoris; UA, unstable angina pectoris; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; ACS, acute coronary syndromes; CAD, coronary artery disease; HC, healthy control; LC/MS, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry; GC/MS, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry; H-NMR, proton nuclear magnetic resonance; SPME, solid-phase microextraction; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LPE, lysophosphatidylethanolamine; TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle.…”
