Effectiveness of D-dimer and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein as tools for diagnosis of myocardial infraction

Background: The role of D-dimer and H-FABP as diagnostic markers in myocardial infarction (MI) is still a question. We aim to investigate the usefulness determination for evaluation patients. Methods: Forty patients with MI 40 controls mean age (57.37 ± 8.27), (57.47±8.329) were conducted. D-dimer, H-FABP, troponin I tests determinate at admission using Up-Converting Phosphor Quantitative Immunoassay Analyzer.Results: D-Dimer concentrations greater significantly than controls, was cTnI level (P < 0.001). cut-off values diagnosis 425ng/ml, 4.1 ng/ml, 0.105 ng/ml respectively with. sensitivity specificity 82.5.% 65.0%, it 77.5%, 57.5% 82.5% 62.5%, MI.Conclusions: biomarker early would be ideal combination cover complete MI.
