Highly sensitive cardiac troponin I assay leads to lowered specificity.
I read with great interest the article of Kavsak et al. (1 ) on the utility of a next-generation high-sensitivity Beckman Coulter cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assay with a 20% CV at 2.95 ng/L. This approach demonstrated a higher diagnostic sensitivity (81% vs 62%) for myocardial injury with a changing pattern of cTnI values, compared with the AccuTnI assay cleared by the US Food and Drug Administr...
متن کاملClinical performance of two highly sensitive cardiac troponin I assays.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of 2 sensitive cTnI assays with 10% CV imprecision below the 99th percentile upper reference limit. METHODS We measured cardiac troponin and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations in a random sample of the Global Use of Strategies To Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) IV cohort (n = 1251...
متن کاملAnalysis of the relation between coping ways with stress and Cardiac Biomarker Troponin I in coronary heart disease patients
Introduction: Coping ways with stress in coronary heart disease patients can lead to significant changes in levels of Cardiac Biomarker Troponin I, but researchers had not explored it empirically. So, the main objective of this study was to identify the relationship between coping ways with stress and Cardiac Biomarker Troponin I and also, finding coping ways that predict changes in the concent...
متن کاملTroponin T or troponin I as cardiac markers in ischaemic heart disease.
There is increasing awareness of the limitations of standard biochemical markers of cardiac damage in patients with acute coronary syndromes. A desire to improve sensitivity and specificity has led to the search for markers uniquely expressed by the myocardium. The cardiac troponins T and I (cTnT and cTnI) have been found to have excellent sensitivity and specificity and are superior to creatin...
متن کاملFrequency of Congenital Heart Disease in Neonates with Extra Cardiac Anomalies
Background Diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) in neonates with extra cardiac anomalies is effective in their clinical management and surgical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of CHD in neonates with extra cardiac anomalies admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Material...
