Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a primary manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD), remains a leading cause of global mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Despite advances in diagnostics and therapy, accurate early risk stratification of ACS remains challenging. Traditional biomarkers such as cardiac troponins and CK-MB are essential for diagnosis but do not capture the full complexity of disease severity, particularly in cases involving inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and plaque instability. This review highlights emerging evidence regarding the roles of inflammatory cytokines and novel biomarkers in ACS pathophysiology, diagnosis and prognostication. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-α play key roles in atherogenesis and plaque destabilization, whereas anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL-10 and TGF-β decrease vascular injury. Novel biomarkers including Copeptin, GDF-15, microRNAs, sST2, Galectin-3, Endocan and MMP-9 offer enhanced prognostic capabilities and, in contrast to traditional biomarkers, often provide additional prognostic information in specific scenarios. Integrating these biomarkers with advanced risk models such as the GRACE score and digital health technologies, including AI, is transforming ACS management. However, challenges persist in standardization, cost-effectiveness, real-time implementation and interpretation in comorbid populations. This review emphasizes the potential of these biomarkers in improving personalized care and treatment for patients with ACS, while addressing evidence levels, clinical bottlenecks and integration strategies.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
