A Novel Serum Biomarker Model to Discriminate Aortic Dissection from Coronary Artery Disease

Figure 1

Distributions of biomarkers according to disease status and the time from symptom onset in AD patients. (a) Distributions of D-dimer according to disease status; (b) distributions of D-dimer according to the time from symptom onset in AD patients processed by the Napierian logarithm; (c–i) distributions of biomarkers associated with iron metabolism according to disease status (c) TF, (d) sFe, (e) TIBC, (f) UIBC, (g) ferritin, (h) sTFR, and (i) TFS; (j–p) distributions of biomarkers associated with iron metabolism according to the time from symptom onset in AD patients processed by the Napierian logarithm: (j) TF, (k) sFe, (l) ferritin, (m) TIBC, (n) UIBC, (o) sTFR, and (p) TFS. ; ; ; . AD: aortic dissection; CAD: coronary artery disease; sFe: serum iron; TF: transferrin; TIBC: total iron-binding capacity; UIBC: unsaturated iron-binding capacity; sTFR: soluble transferrin receptor; TFS: transferrin saturation.
