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 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 کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays: isn't it time for equality?
There are abundant data that women who present with acute coronary events are less frequently diagnosed and have worse outcomes than men (1, 2 ). Part of the problem may be that women are less apt to manifest increased biomarkers when they present and perhaps for that reason, often receive less aggressive guidelinemandated care (3, 4 ). It may be that the reason for this is that women have lowe...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin I assays in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction
Chest pain is one of the most common presenting symptoms in patients attending the emergency department; yet, less than one in five patients receive a final diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. In patients without ST segment elevation, early exclusion of acute coronary syndrome has the potential to reduce healthcare expenditure in a population with significant resource implications. Previo...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity cardiac troponin assays in the clinical laboratories.
Immunoassays measuring cardiac troponins I or T have become firmly established as critical tools for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. While most contemporary assays provide adequate diagnostic performance, the increased sensitivity and precision of the new, high sensitivity assays that have already been introduced into clinical practice, provide the potential to further shorten intervals...
