ELISA

- Independent indicator of atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability

Diagnostic reagent for quantitative in vitro determination of lipoprotein related phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) in human serum or plasma on photometric systems

Clinical Significance

Atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability-specific inflammatory markers

● Physical examination and screening of high-risk groups of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

●Recurrence prevention for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

●Prognostic evaluation of the population with pre-existing disease

●Evaluation of treatment effect

Indicator Advantage

Specificity: Atherosclerotic plaque, vulnerability specific marker

Independence: independently predicts the risk of atherosclerotic plaque rupture

Accuracy: Quantitative detection, the results are more in line with clinical needs

Experts recommend early detection and early prevention

In October 2015, "Chinese Expert Recommendations on the Clinical Application of Lipoprotein-Related Phospholipase A2" recommended that the following populations can detect Lp-PLA2 levels to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease events:

●Screening of asymptomatic high-risk groups, especially those with intermediate risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, detection of LP-PLA2 on the basis of traditional risk factor assessment to further assess the risk of future cardiovascular disease.

●In patients who have received statin therapy and have good cholesterol control, the level of LP-PLA2 can improve the predictive value of cardiovascular disease event risk.

●In patients with acute thrombotic events, including ACS and atherosclerotic ischemic stroke, LP-PLA2 is helpful for long-term risk assessment. For example, combined detection with hs-CRP can improve the predictive value.

Features

● The results of the classic two-step method are stable and accurate

● Sample requirements: serum, plasma

● Detection range: 10ng/ml-1000ng/ml

● Strong specificity and good stability
