We have read with great interest the letter entitled "Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kallikrein and acute myocardial infarction (AMI): Where we are. Where are we going?", recently published by Patanè S and Marte F [1] where the authors very concisely reviewed the role of the PSA in AMI. Currently, a growing interest has been directed towards PSA and the cardiovascular system [2]. The investigation of novel circulating serum and plasma biomarkers in patients with cardiovascular disease has been accelerating at a remarkable place.
