High-sensitive Troponin T assay for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction: an economic evaluation
BACKGROUND Delayed diagnosis and treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) has a major adverse impact on prognosis in terms of both morbidity and mortality. Since conventional cardiac Troponin assays have a low sensitivity for diagnosing AMI in the first hours after myocardial necrosis, high-sensitive assays have been developed. The aim of this study was to assess the cost effectiveness of...
متن کاملCardiac troponin-T immunoassay for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
We evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of an immunoassay for cardiac troponin T (cTnT). Within-run and total imprecision ranged from 1.6 to 11.3%. The sensitivity and linear range was 0.015 and 13 micrograms/L, respectively. Frozen samples were stable for at least 8 weeks. No interferences were seen with lipids or bilirubin (total and conjugated). Hemoglobin caused a negative bias...
متن کاملAn Aptamer-based Biosensor for Troponin I Detection in Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) accounts for one third of deaths. Cardiac troponin I (TnI) is a reliable biomarker of cardiac muscle tissue injury and is employed in the early diagnosis of MI.Objectives: In this study, a molecular method is introduced to early diagnosis of MI by rapid detection of TnI.Materials and Methods: The detection method was based on electrochemical aptasens...
متن کاملSensitive troponin I assay in early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin testing is central to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. We evaluated a sensitive troponin I assay for the early diagnosis and risk stratification of myocardial infarction. METHODS In a multicenter study, we determined levels of troponin I as assessed by a sensitive assay, troponin T, and traditional myocardial necrosis markers in 1818 consecutive patien...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
Troponin T is a structurally bound protein found in striated muscle cells. We tested concentrations of its cardiac-specific isotype in peripheral venous blood samples serially drawn from 72 patients with confirmed myocardial infarction. Fifty-nine patients received thrombolytic treatment with intravenous streptokinase, urokinase, or recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator; because of cont...
