Abstract
The study investigates the utility of heart fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP) in distinguishing TIA from mimics. Data from 175 patients from the StrokeChip multicenter study was retrospectively analyzed. H-FABP level was measured using a rapid point-of-care test. Findings revealed that H-FABP levels were higher in individuals with TIA compared to mimics [3.10 ng/mL (IQR 2.13-4.78) vs. 1.70 ng/mL (IQR 1.23-2.38)] (p < 0.001). The diagnostic performance of H-FABP, assessed using the area under the curve operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0. 83 (95% CI = 0.76-0.90) for the final model, indicating good discriminative ability. The PanelomiX determined that a combined cutoff of > 1.85 ng/ml for H-FABP, age > 42.5 years, and baseline NIHSS > 3.5 had a 100% of sensitivity and 23.30% of specificity. The study suggests that H-FABP has potential as a TIA diagnostic biomarker. The rapid application of POCT's for H-FABP measurement supports its potential use in emergency departments and primary care settings.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (JCTR) is a premier journal in cardiovascular translational research.
JCTR is the journal of choice for authors seeking the broadest audience for emerging technologies, therapies and diagnostics, pre-clinical research, and first-in-man clinical trials.
JCTR''s intent is to provide a forum for critical evaluation of the novel cardiovascular science, to showcase important and clinically relevant aspects of the new research, as well as to discuss the impediments that may need to be overcome during the translation to patient care.
