Health Condition 1: null- All Patients presenting to the ED with chest pain at the duration of 30 minutes to six hours with or without ECG changes
Conditions
Interventions
Intervention1: Human heartâ??type fatty acidâ??binding protein (H-FABP): H-FABP is rapidly released from damaged cells and subsequently appear in plasma. H-FABP has high heart specificity and are foun
at 12 hours, the test is almost 100% sensitive. A single troponin determination, however, may have utility in evaluating patients who present several days into the possible ACS event. The time course
