High-Sensitivity Troponin Assays: Boon or Bane for the Cardiologist?
The Troponin Era The advent of the “troponin era” has its roots in the redefi nition of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by the joint committee of European and American cardiologists in 2000.1 Troponin was identifi ed as the preferred serologic biomarker for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Since then, troponin assays have continued to evolve with improved sensitivity and reproducibility, leadin...
متن کاملHigh 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 کاملImmediate Rule-Out of Acute Myocardial Infarction Using Electrocardiogram and Baseline High-Sensitivity Troponin I.
AIMS Serial measurements of high-sensitivity troponin are used to rule out acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with an assay specific cutoff at the 99th percentile. Here, we evaluated the performance of a single admission troponin with a lower cutoff combined with a low risk electrocardiogram (ECG) to rule out AMI. METHODS Troponin I measured with a high-sensitivity assay (hs-TnI) was determine...
متن کاملBaseline troponin level: key to understanding the importance of post-PCI troponin elevations.
AIMS The adverse prognostic significance of biomarker elevations after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is well established. However, often baseline troponin values are not included in the analysis or sensitive criteria are not employed. Accordingly, we assessed the timing and magnitude of post-PCI troponin T (cTnT) levels and their relationships to outcomes in patients with and without...
متن کاملSerial High-Sensitivity Troponin T in Post-Primary Angioplasty Exercise Test
BACKGROUND The kinetics of high-sensitivity troponin T (hscTnT) release should be studied in different situations, including functional tests with transient ischemic abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the release of hscTnT by serial measurements after exercise testing (ET), and to correlate hscTnT elevations with abnormalities suggestive of ischemia. METHODS Patients with acute ST-segment...
