Prognostic value of growth differentiation factor-15 3 months after an acute chest pain admission

Conclusions
High GDF-15 concentrations 3 months after admission for suspected NSTE-ACS are associated with long-term mortality and cardiovascular events, independent of traditional risk factors and troponin T. A change in GDF-15 concentration can provide prognostic information.
