Kinetic map of metabolites on PMI data at 10, 60, 120, and 240 minutes after myocardial injury, using the pBI scoring model for prioritization of selected metabolites into groups of weak, moderate and strong predictors. Values indicate absolute pBI scores. The thresholds for prioritization are denoted below in the list of analytes. Red color increments indicate decreasing levels, blue increasing levels. In this study, a series of metabolites in pathways associated with myocardial infarction could be identified, some of which change as early as 10 minutes after injury, a time frame where no currently available clinical biomarkers are present [13, 56].
