Rapid test for Troponin I in whole blood DEVICE
Discovered by Ebashi, Troponins are regulatory proteins in cardiac muscle that modulate the interaction between actin and myosin, during the calcium-mediated contraction of cardiac muscle. Three distinct tissue specific isoforms of Troponin I have been identified, two in skeletal muscle and one in cardiac muscle. The cardiac isoform of Troponin I (cTnI) has an additional sequence of 31 amino ac...
متن کاملCardiac emergency triage and therapeutic decisions using whole blood rapid troponin T test for patients with suspicious acute coronary syndrome.
Emergency triage and therapeutic decisions using the recently developed whole blood rapid troponin T test were evaluated and compared with conventional electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnosis in a total of 155 patients with chest pain who visited 16 emergency outpatient clinics in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Thirty-seven patients (23.9%) had a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction or hig...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T in cord blood.
BACKGROUND Perinatal asphyxia is associated with cardiac dysfunction. This may be secondary to myocardial ischaemia. Cardiac troponin T is the ideal marker for myocardial necrosis. Elevated levels in cord blood may be associated with intrauterine hypoxia and increased perinatal morbidity. AIMS To establish an upper limit of normal for cardiac troponin T concentration in the cord blood of infa...
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...
