Abstract:
Early detection of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) becomes more accurate using dependable biomarkers for diagnosis. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate using established markers (Troponin I, CK-MB) together with emerging markers (H-FABP, Copeptin, IMA) for 150 patients. Analysis of H-FABP yielded the best early sensitivity rate at 92% surpassing both Troponin I and CK-MB values. The combination of H-FABP with Troponin I produced superior ACS detection results (p < 0.05). The use of emerging biomarkers shows better diagnostic precision for standard practice in ACS testing.
