Role of Cardiac Myocytes Heart Fatty Acid Binding Protein Depletion (H-FABP) in Early Myocardial Infarction in Human Heart (Autopsy Study).

Background: Many immunohistochemical markers have been used in the postmortem detection of early myocardial infarction.

Aim: In the present study we examined the role of Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), in the detection of early myocardial infarction.

Material And Methods: We obtained samples from 40 human autopsy hearts with/without histopathological signs of ischemia.
