title: [Possibilities of diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome in old subjects].
abstract: Diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) in old subjects poses substantial difficulties because in a row of cases clinical picture and changes on electrocardiogram are nonspecific. In this paper we discuss possibilities of diagnosis of NSTEACS with the help of determination of markers of myocardial necrosis (including cardiac troponins and fatty acid transporting protein) and C-reactive protein in the blood. Data on changes of heart rhythm variability are also presented.
