The specific kinetic of copeptin secretion during the course of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) had poorly been studied, with most studies assessing copeptin levels in the very first hours of chest pain onset and not ACS itself. To overcome this issue, we took advantage of septal embolization technique for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) treatment, a unique situation during which myocardial infarction (MI) is provoked, to measure plasmatic copeptin levels variation.
