Heart fatty acid binding protein and troponin: a match made in heaven?
Plasma levels of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) have been shown to rise early after the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Recent evidence suggests combining H-FABP with troponin gives superior diagnostic accuracy compared to the alternative ‘early markers’ of myocardial necrosis, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin. However, using a single measurement at the […]
