Role of novel biomarker heart type fatty acidbinding Protein(h-fabp) in diagnosis of acute Coronary syndrome in emergency department-a One year cross sectional study in kles dr.Prabhakar kore hospital and mrc

Abstract

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and related heart conditions are major global causes of death.Early diagnosis and treatment of AMI are crucial, but current biochemical markers like myoglobin, CK-MB, and troponins, though useful, have limitations in early detection.Hearttype fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), a small cytoplasmic protein prevalent in the heart, shows promise as an early biomarker for AMI.This study aimed to demonstrate the diagnostic efficacy of h-FABP compared to Trop-T and CK-MB, potentially establishing it as a reliable biomarker for early ACS diagnosis.
