Background: Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a heart-specific and highly sensitive biomarker for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We investigated the effectiveness of H-FABP for diagnosis of AMI in patients with different ethnic background and different time from symptom onset.
Methods: Venous blood was withdrawn from consecutive patients with acute chest pain admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.
