Core Tip
Core Tip: This editorial delves into the predictive value of serum biomarkers such as bilirubin and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase in the context of type-2 diabetes mellitus with concurrent acute coronary syndrome. Highlighted findings from current research underscore the inverse correlation between these biomarkers and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, advocating their utility in risk stratification and clinical management of such patients.
