Objective To investigate the clinical application value of point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods 74 cases of coronary syndrome were collected as the patients group,including 36 cases of AMI and 38 cases of unstable angina pectoris(UAP),and 40 individuals with healthy physical examina-tion were selected as the control group.The concentrations of cardiac marker cTnI,MYO and CK-MB in blood at different times were detected by using the point-of-care rapid immune quantitative method.Then the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing AMI were compared for determining the best time of single detection and combined detection.Results The positive rates of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 2-12 h with the symptoms in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group and the UAP group,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.01).The combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB within onset 6-12 h with symptoms had the higher sensitivity and higher specificity for diagnosing AMI.The combined detection of cTnI and CK-MB within onset 12-24 h with symptoms could reach the optimal sensitivity and optimal specificity for the diagnosis.The sensitivity and specificity of cTnI within onset 24-72 h with symptoms for diagnosing AMI were 100.0% and 100.0% respectively.Conclu-sion The point-of-care combined detection of cTnI,MYO and CK-MB can conveniently and rapidly diagnose AMI.The sensitivty and specificity of various indexes in different time periods are different.Their combined detection can increase the diagnostic rate for AMI.
