Rapid myoglobin assay may aid early AMI detection; extends historical biomarker data but leaves open utility versus troponins.
Does a rapid immunoturbidimetric assay for myoglobin improve the early detection of acute myocardial infarction compared to creatine kinase and creatine kinase MB in patients presenting with chest pain?
A rapid immunoturbidimetric assay for myoglobin provides higher sensitivity for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction compared to creatine kinase and CK-MB.
