Popis: BACKGROUND Glycogen Phosphorylase BB (GPBB) is considered an early and specific marker of myocardial necrosis and ischemia. A POCT kit GPBB for diagnostic use has recently been approved. AIM an evaluation of the correspondence of qualitative POCT GBPP measurements with ELISA test results. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY 20 individuals with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (non-STEMI) and 20 probands without acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were tested. GPBB (POCT, ELISA) in venous plasma (lithium-heparin) was assayed in all probands. RESULTS individuals with non-STEMI had significantly higher GPBB ELISA values (32.3 vs. 6.1 microg/l; p < 0.01). GPBB sensitivity and specificity for non-STEMI presence 6 hours after chest pain generation were 100 %. No proband was classified in a different subgroup with POCT of GPBB (positive/negative). GPBB POCT correlate with a non- STEMI diagnosis (chi(2) 36.1; p
