Methods and devices to detect the presence of a condition associated with ATP depletion in a subject
摘要:
The invention provides a method of determining a predisposition to a condition associated with ATP depletion, such as an ischaemic event, in a subject comprising: a. measuring the concentration of one or more purines in a body fluid of the subject, the purines being selected from adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and ATP, and b. comparing the measured concentration with a threshold concentration of the one or more purines, wherein the threshold concentration is preferably in the range 2 [micro]M to 8 [micro]M and wherein a measured concentration higher than the threshold concentration indicates the presence of ischaemia.
