Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic role of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (hFABP) compared with copeptin and in addition to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) in patients with chest pain suspected of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ⋯ hFABP and copeptin do not improve the diagnosis of patients with chest pain without ST-segment elevation, but may be useful for risk stratification beyond hs-TnT.
