Abstract
Background: Ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) is being studied as a new marker for reversible ischaemia in patients presenting with possible cardiac chest pain. The conditions under which samples are stored prior to analysis may be critical in influencing the analytical result and hence the cut-off used in any particular study. Methods: Sixty-eight samples taken during a study assessing the performance of IMA for risk stratification in patients presenting with possible cardiac chest pain were analysed both within 2.5 h of collection and after periods of storage at -20°C. Results: Samples stored at -20°C yielded IMA values on average 3 units higher than those analysed within 2.5 h (mean 90.5 vs. 87.5; P
