Sweat Analysis as Prognosticator After Heart Attack

Subjects will be assessed at baseline (as inpatients) and at 4-6 weeks at follow-up as outpatients according to standard operating procedures. Sweat samples will be collected using the CE certified Macroduct Sweat Collector and inflammatory parameters measured. Venous blood will be drawn and inflammatory parameters, Troponin-I and nt-proBNP measured. Further examinations include measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography at baseline and blood pressure, heart rate, risk scores and health information will be collected at baseline and follow up.
