Myocardial infarction (MI) is considered as one of the major life-threatening health issues worldwide. Growing number of cases every year is demanding rapid, portable, and early detection by the sensing devices for the identification of MI. This research work introduces a modified interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensing surface constructed with single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCN) to detect the cardiac biomarker, C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP-specific aptamer was conjugated with gold nanoparticle and attached on SWCN-constructed IDE surface. This probe-modified sensing surface has reached the limit of CRP detection to 10 pM on a linear regression curve with the regression coefficient of R² = 0.9223 [y = 0.9198x - 0.4326]. Further, control molecules, such as random aptamer sequence and nontarget cardiac biomarker (Troponin I), did not show the current response, indicating the specific CRP detection. This sensing strategy helps to detect the lower level of CRP and diagnose the MI at its earlier stages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
