Biological variation of ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) in healthy subjects

IMA rises within minutes of myocardial ischaemia onset and returns to baseline within 6 hours of restoring perfusion. It has been advocated as a "rule out" test in selected patietns with acute coronary syndromes. The aim of study was to determine the analytical and biological variance components of IMA and to compare the distribution of IMA values in our patient population to those provided by the kit manufacturer.
