Early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction by a newly developed rapid immunoturbidimetric assay for myoglobin

Abstract

Myoglobin was more sensitive in detecting early myocardial infarction than creatine kinase and creatine kinase MB activity. Immunoturbidimetric myoglobin measurements could be useful in the early evaluation of patients with suspected myocardial infarction because this assay takes less than two minutes.
