abstract = {Aim: To investigate the efficacies of point-of-care test of heart-type fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP) and its combinations with the conventional biomarkers in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: 227 patients suspected of AMI were consecutively recruited in two centers. Biomarkers including H-FABP, myoglobin (MYO), creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were determined simultaneously at admission. AMI was defined according to the universal definition of myocardial infarction. Chi-Square test was adopted for the analysis.
Results: In patients presenting within 12 h of symptom onset, the sensitivity of H-FABP[93.0% (95% CI: 86.6%−96.9%)] was significantly higher than that of initial CK-MB [67.5% (95% CI: 58.1%−76.0%),P},
