How to interpret elevated cardiac troponin levels.
Cardiac troponin (cTn) testing is an essential component of the diagnostic workup and management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Although over the past 15 years the diagnostic performance of the previous gold-standard assay, creatine kinaseMB, has not changed appreciably, the ever-increasing sensitivity of cTn assays has had a dramatic impact on the use of cTn testing to diagnose ACS.1 Here,...
متن کاملHigh-sensitive cardiac troponin T
Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The recent development of a high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay permits detection of very low levels of cTnT. Using the hs-cTnT assay improves the overall diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected AMI, while a negative result also has a high negative predictive value. The gain ...
متن کاملHow would the Reverend Bayes interpret high-sensitivity troponin?
Cardiac troponins are heavily relied on in the laboratory evaluation of patients with suspected myocardial infarction (MI) because of their putative high sensitivity and specificity for detection of myocardial necrosis. According to the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry guidelines, “In the presence of a clinical history suggestive of acute coronary syndrome, maximal concentration of car...
متن کاملEvaluation of Troponin-T level in Neonate with Mechanical Ventilation
Introduction: Troponin- T is the best biological marker of heart injuries, that isn’t affected by sex, age, birth weight and gestational age. Myocardial damage in infancy is a risk factor eventual cardiac disease. This study carried out for cardiac evaluation of neonates with mechanical ventilation by Troponin T. Methods: This case-control study carried out on 60 infants that were admitte...
متن کاملSevere multivessel coronary artery disease and high-sensitive troponin T
INTRODUCTION A key problem in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is non-invasive identification of patients with severe multivessel CAD. Determination of biomarkers that have pro-inflammatory properties (C-reactive protein - hsCRP) and indicate heart muscle ischemia (high-sensitive troponin T - hsTnT) can contribute to the improvement of stratification in this regard. THE AIM OF THE STUDY T...
