Deaths from Cardiovascular disease have been declining in developed nations but have increased in low- and middle-income countries. Over 80% of the world's CVD deaths now occur in developing nations.

Currently, heart disease is the biggest health threat to humans. Among them, AMI is one of the leading causes of death and disability.

Despite the development of cardiac centers and theories of high sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers in myocardial necrosis. The evaluation of unexplained chest pain symptoms remains a huge challenge.

Non ACS diagnosis? Stable Angina? Unstable Angina? NSTEMI?

In order to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of diagnosis of MI, clinical researchers have discovered a new type of cardiac enzyme called H-FABP (Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein).

ACS Biomarker Development

Displays an array of biomarkers of different stages of cardiac disease. H-FABP was first shown to be released from injured myocardium in 1988, after which its application as a biochemical marker has been investigated.

Moriates C, Maisel A.( 2010), “The utility of biomarkers in sorting out the complex patient”, Am J Med, 123(5), pp.393-9

H-FABP is the quickest marker for diagnosis of MI in the early stage when ECG is unclear.

• H-FABP is a small, cytoplasmic protein
• Molecular weight of only 15 kDa
• 20 times more cardiac specific than

Myoglobin

H-FABP has demonstrated its outstanding capabilities of sensitivity and specificity, superior to troponin, particularly in the earliest stages of 0-6 hours.

Within only 30 minutes after onset of AMI, H-FABP became detectable in blood and increased very quickly.

The Prognostic Value

INTRODUCTION

An increased concentration of H-FABP in the early stage after chest pain demonstrated a reliable prognostic value of death and cardiovascular events after AMI.

INTRODUCTION

H-FABP contributed to providing valuable information for prognostic of AMI, independent of Troponin T, ECG and clinical tests.

Correlation of the level of H-FABP between fatal and non-fatal groups

The level of H-FABP of the fatal group after the treatment was higher than the group with non-fatal AMI. There was a correlation between level of H-FABP and treatment results, which was accepted as statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

H-FABP has been demonstrated as the quicktest marker for the diagnosis of AMI, particularly in the earliest stages of 0-6 hours. H-FABP is valuable in prediction of severe events after

• nset of MI.

CONCLUSION

The study results showed a positive correlation between the level of H-FABP and early complications of this disease. H-FABP increased gradually with the degree of Killip class. H-FABP also increased with the severity of the early complications.
