High-sensitivity cardiac troponin: hype, help, and reality.
Articles in The New England Journal of Medicine get tremendous publicity, some justified and some not. Recently, 2 articles and an editorial (1–3 ) were published about the use of “high-sensitivity” cardiac troponin (cTn). These articles are welcome because they emphasize important concepts for clinicians. Some aspects, however, require clarification. Here we examine these articles and separate...
متن کاملCardiac enzyme in emergency medicine
Objective: Acute chest pain is an important and frequently occurring symptom in patients. Chest pain is often a sign of ischemic heart disease. Chest pain due to suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is responsible for a large and ijncreasing number of hospital attendances and admissions. Current practice for suspected ACS involves troponin testing 10–12 hours after symptom o...
متن کاملThe most sensitive double-marker method of cardiac isoenzymes of creatinine kinase, troponin I, and myoglobin in different time periods for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction
Purpose: Myocardial infarction is among the most common diagnoses in patients admitted to hospitals in western countries, and its rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance. This study was conducted to determine the most sensitive double-marker cardiac isoenzyme of creatinine kinase, troponin I, and myoglobin for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: This was an ...
متن کاملStressing the Utility of High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Testing in Patients with Possible Cardiac Ischemia
Strategies to rule out myocardial infarction (MI)2 in the emergency department include stress test echocardiography, electrocardiography, and assessment of cardiac biomarkers such as troponin I and T (1). The potential for new high-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing to simplify and expedite these rule-out protocols is of great interest. Is all the hype justified? Or are we placing unreasonabl...
متن کاملThe state of cardiac troponin assays: looking bright and moving in the right direction.
Cardiac troponin assays have evolved substantially over 20 years, owing to the efforts of manufacturers to make them more precise and sensitive. These enhancements have led to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, which ideally would give measureable values above the limit of detection (LoD) for 100% of healthy individuals and demonstrate an imprecision (CV) of 10% at the 99th percentile. C...
