Evaluation of Human Serum Albumin Cobalt Binding Assay for the Assessment of Myocardial Ischemia and Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

The Co(II)-albumin binding test may serve as a useful diagnostic tool in emergency facilities for the assessment of myocardial ischemia. High and low ABSU were associated with myocardial ischemic individuals and non-myocardial ischemic individuals, respectively. However, the Co(II)-albumin binding was a poor discriminator between ischemic individuals with and without MI.
