Using the stress electrocardiograph (ECG) exercise tolerance test (ETT) in an emergency department (ED) to assess low-risk patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
This study examines the outcomes of a group of low-risk patients with uncertain diagnosis, who were seen at a rural health facility. A stress ECG was performed on the patients within 24 hours of the onset of pain, with those with negative tests subsequently being discharged.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Acute Coronary Syndrome in Adulthood
… subsequent incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was examined in a cohort of 6,596 older Seventh-day Adventists. After controlling for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and psychological factors, ACE exposure predicted increased risk of ACS by 31% for males only. Similarly, exposure to 3 or more …

Cytokine and Growth Factor Concentrations in Canine Autologous Conditioned Serum
… profiles in canine autologous conditioned serum (ACS) to canine plasma. Blood collected from 16 medium to large breed dogs was used to produce ACS (Orthokine® vet irap 10 syringes) and citrated plasma (control). Canine-specific ELISA assays were run per manufacturers’ instructions for interleukin …
