Why the study?
The study evaluated point-of-care testing using H-FABP compared with CK-MB, Troponin T, and hsCRP for detecting early acute myocardial infarction.
Does H-FABP correlate with standard cardiac biomarkers for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction?
Population
220 participants > 18 years (110 myocardial infarction cases and 110 healthy controls)
Comparison
H-FABP vs CK-MB, Troponin T, and hsCRP
Design
Case-control study

H-FABP may aid early AMI detection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does H-FABP correlate with standard cardiac biomarkers for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction?
H-FABP is a useful cardiac biomarker that correlates positively with CK-MB for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
