High-Risk Factor Detection of Coronary Artery Disease by Terahertz Spectroscopy

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an important high-risk factor of coronary artery disease. While the existing detection methods for MGO are time-consuming and high-cost. Here we demonstrate that the terahertz spectroscopy can be used to qualitatively identify the abnormally high concentration of MGO and quantitatively analysis the normal MGO blood concentration.
