The reagent is used to quantitatively detect the content of heart-type fatty acid binding protein in human serum, plasma or whole blood samples in vitro, and is mainly used in clinical diagnosis for acute myocardial infarction .
Applicable to various sample types of serum, plasma and whole blood;
Rapid detection of single reagent (15 minutes)
Convenient storage and transportation at room temperature
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and it incurs huge healthcare expenditures [1-4]. In the United States alone, 683,000 discharge occurrences resulting from ACS were reported in 2009 [5,6]. Remarkably, 1,190,000 secondary discharges were associated with ACS, of which 829,000 were attributed to myocardial infarction (MI) alone [5,6]. ACS is caused by the sudden obstruction of a coronary artery. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of ACS continues to be a diagnostic challenge in medicine, The highest risk of fatality occurs within the initial hours of onset of AMI. Thus, early diagnosis of cardiac ischemia is critical for the effective management of patients with AMI. Improper diagnosis of patients with chest pain often leads to inappropriate admission of patients without AMI and vice versa. In addition to clinical history, physical examination, accurate electrocardiogram findings and assessment of cardiac biomarkers have an important role in the early diagnosis of acute ischemia.
A marker of Myocardial Injury:
H-FABP: It is a small-molecule soluble protein that is abundant in the cytoplasm of myocardium, but when myocardial cells are damaged, it can be quickly released into the blood, leading to a sharp increase in the level of H-FABP in the blood high.H-FABP can be used as a predictive biomarker of mortality following acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Clinical significance:
Detection for the early diagnosis and risk stratification of acute myocardial infarction Myocardial infarction area estimation Differential diagnosis of chest pain Prognostic evaluation of ACS
