Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Atherosclerotic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers of atherosclerosis are required to monitor and prevent disease progression. While mass spectrometry is a promising technique to search for such biomarkers, its clinical application is hampered by the laborious processes for sample preparation and analysis.
