Overview
Overview
Thrombus precursor protein (TpP), which measures soluble fibrin, is a marker of active thrombosis. Patients with ACS who present early after symptom onset have been shown to have significantly higher levels of TpP as compared to controls [1]. Several smaller studies have evaluated TpP as a diagnostic tool and found that TpP appears to offer useful information for patients with ACS, particularly those patients who presented early after symptom onset [2] [3]
