Metabolite Profiling Key to Detecting Heart Attacks

Mild heart attacks can go unnoticed and can be blamed on heartburn but new diagnostic methods using metabolite profiling have been developed to allow a better understanding of how they change the chemical composition of the blood and the metabolites that are contained within. This is why people are advised to seek medical attention to allow better understanding of the mechanisms that researchers have found as promising. There are specific changes to the levels of metabolites or metabolic chemicals hat are released by the body through the blood that signifies trauma to the heart. The heart may be signaling the brain that there is someting wrong and that a sudden release of these metabolites are needed to help it cope.
