Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is proposed as an early biomarker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but its prognostic value is unclear in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We evaluated the prognostic value of the H-FABP concentration relative to cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in the early hours of ACS.
Serum concentrations of H-FABP and cTnT were measured on admission in 328 consecutive patients hospitalized for ACS within 6 h after the onset of chest pain [AMI, 241 (73.5%) patients; ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, 154 (47.0%) patients; and emergent coronary angiography within 24 h after admission, 287 (87.5%) patients]. Cardiac events, which were defined as cardiac death or subsequent nonfatal AMI, were monitored for 6 months after admission.
During the 6-month follow-up period, there were 25 cardiac events, including 15 cardiac deaths and 10 subsequent nonfatal AMIs. Stepwise multivariate analyses including clinical, electrocardiographic, and biochemical variables revealed that increased H-FABP (above the median of 9.8 microg/L), but not increased cTnT (above the median of 0.02 microg/L), was independently associated with cardiac events in all patients [relative risk (RR) = 8.96; P = 0.0004], the subgroup of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (RR = 11.3; P = 0.02), and the subgroup of patients with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (RR = 8.31; P = 0.007). The area under the ROC curve was higher for H-FABP than for cTnT (0.711 vs 0.578; P = 0.08), suggesting that H-FABP concentrations have a greater predictive capacity for cardiac events than cTnT.
Serum H-FABP is a potential independent predictor of cardiac events within 6 months of patient admission and may provide prognostic information superior to cTnT in the early hours of ACS.
心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白(H-FABP)被认为是急性心肌梗死(AMI)的早期生物标志物,但在急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)中其预后价值尚不清楚。我们评估了ACS早期H-FABP浓度相对于心肌肌钙蛋白T(cTnT)的预后价值。
对328例因胸痛发作6小时内住院的ACS连续患者入院时测定血清H-FABP和cTnT浓度[AMI,241例(73.5%);ST段抬高型心肌梗死,154例(47.0%);入院后24小时内行急诊冠状动脉造影,287例(87.5%)]。对入院后6个月的心脏事件进行监测,心脏事件定义为心源性死亡或随后的非致命性AMI。
在6个月的随访期内,发生25例心脏事件,包括15例心源性死亡和10例随后的非致命性AMI。包括临床、心电图和生化变量的逐步多变量分析显示,H-FABP升高(高于中位数9.8μg/L),而非cTnT升高(高于中位数0.02μg/L),在所有患者[相对危险度(RR)=8.96;P=0.0004]、ST段抬高型心肌梗死亚组(RR=11.3;P=0.02)以及不稳定型心绞痛和非ST段抬高型心肌梗死亚组(RR=8.31;P=0.007)中均与心脏事件独立相关。H-FABP的ROC曲线下面积高于cTnT(0.711对0.578;P=0.08),表明H-FABP浓度对心脏事件的预测能力大于cTnT。
血清H-FABP是患者入院后6个月内心脏事件的潜在独立预测指标,在ACS早期可能提供优于cTnT的预后信息。
