Abstract

Objective To explore the value of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Sixty confirmed AMI patients were observed, the data of H-FABP, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) were detected in 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in the specificity among the three markers (P > 0.05). Conclusions H-FABP has more sensitivity and specificity in the early diagnosis of AMI. It is applicable in the screening of patients who suffered chest pain and the diagnosis of early AMI. Key words: Myocardial infarction; Cardiac markers; Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein
