Letter in response to 'High-sensitivity troponin T for early rule-out of myocardial infarction in recent onset chest pain'.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a high-sensitivity troponin assay, shown to improve early detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), permits accelerated rule-in/rule-out of AMI. METHODS Patients who presented to the emergency department within 4 h of the onset of chest pain suggestive of acute coronary syndrome were prospectively recruited from November 2007 to April 2010. Blood samples...
متن کاملCopeptin adds to high-sensitivity troponin T in rapid rule out of acute myocardial infarction.
Karakas and colleagues (1) reported on copeptin and high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) in a substudy of ROMICAT (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction by Computed Tomography) (2) that evaluated coronary computed tomography for ruling out myocardial infarction in lowto intermediate-risk patients with chest pain who were eligible for coronary computed tomography and subsequent coronary angiography. The...
متن کاملOne-hour rule-out and rule-in of acute myocardial infarction using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T.
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays seem to improve the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but it is unknown how to best use them in clinical practice. Our objective was to develop and validate an algorithm for rapid rule-out and rule-in of AMI. METHODS A prospective multicenter study enrolling 872 unselected patients with acute chest pain presentin...
متن کاملCardiac Troponin I as Compared to Troponin T for the Detection of Myocardial Damage in Horses
BACKGROUND Different cardiac troponin I (cTnI) assays give different results. Only 1 manufacturer has marketed troponin T (cTnT) assays. Therefore, cTnT often is preferred for detection of myocardial infarction in human patients. Studies of cTnT in horses are limited. OBJECTIVES To compare a cTnI and a high-sensitive cTnT assay (hs-cTnT) in horses. ANIMALS Cardiac troponin I and cTnT were d...
متن کاملCardiac troponin testing is overused after the rule-in or rule-out of myocardial infarction.
(type A MU) is one of the major components in overall MU. It is possible to achieve a small MU by improving the imprecision of the sample preparation procedure. Other than ensuring complete proteolysis, we observed that adding the isotope-labeled internal standard before pro-teolysis provided better imprecision than after proteolysis. This may allow a better control of the isotope ratio through...
