High sensitivity cardiac troponin testing.
Bösner and colleagues have presented evidence for a simple rule for ruling out coronary artery disease in the primary care setting. It is noteworthy that no laboratory measurements have been included in their model, with reference to their introductory statement that “ ... electrocardiography and cardiac troponin test are of limited value in primary care... ” This point deserves some discussion...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T and Risk of Hypertension.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of hypertension is often preceded by cardiac structural abnormalities. Thus, we assessed whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a marker of subclinical myocardial damage, can identify individuals at risk for hypertension or left ventricular hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 6516 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants wh...
متن کاملEvaluation of high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin.
Despite the facts that cardiac troponin was introduced 2 decades ago and has been established since 2000 as the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) (1 ), the clinical application of cardiac troponin assays continues to evolve substantively. In large part, this evolution has been driven by sustained progress in the analytical performance of commercially available ...
متن کاملAnalytical characteristics of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins I (cTnI) and T (cTnT) have received international endorsement as the standard biomarkers for detection of myocardial injury, for risk stratification in patients suspected of acute coronary syndrome, and for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. An evidence-based clinical database is growing rapidly for high-sensitivity (hs) troponin assays. Thus, clarifications of...
متن کاملAnalytical validation of a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T assay.
BACKGROUND We report the development of a novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay, a modification of the Roche fourth-generation cTnT assay, and validation of the analytical performance of this assay. METHODS Validation included testing of analytical sensitivity, specificity, interferences, and precision. We established the 99th percentile cutoff from healthy reference popul...
