OBJECTIVE: @entity63 -modified albumin (IMA), a novel biochemical marker, is known to reflect @entity63 in early phases of @entity1187 ( @entity1187 ). In the present study, we evaluated the role of IMA on the prediction of @entity453 burden and @entity63 burden in @entity1 with non-ST-segment-elevation @entity1187 (NSTEACS). @entity1 AND METHODS: Ninety-six consecutive NSTEACS @entity1 presented within the first three hours of symptom onset were prospectively enrolled in this study. Blood samples were collected in the first 30 min of admission for IMA measurement. Serum levels of IMA were analyzed using the rapid and colorimetric method and reported in absorbance units (ABSU). Coronary plaque burden was assessed by using angiographic Gensini score (GS). In addition, @entity1 were divided into large (LIBG) and small @entity63 burden (SIBG) groups based on angiography findings. RESULTS: @entity1 were dichotomized into two groups according to median GS as follows; with GS <=  44 and GS > 44, respectively. Mean IMA was significantly higher in GS > 44 group as compared to GS <=  44 group (0.746    0.15 vs. 0.550    0.12 ABSU, p < 0.001). The GS was positively correlated with the levels of IMA (r = 0.673, p < 0.001). IMA was significantly higher in LIBG as compared to SIBG (0.745    0.16 vs. 0.570    0.13 ABSU, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: IMA measurement in early phases of NSTEACS may give predictive information about @entity63 burden and @entity453 burden; thus, may be useful in decision-making about treatment options in these @entity1 .
