چکیده

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 observational-analytic research on a diagnostic test   conducted on 256 patients who had referred to the emergency department with chest pain from   4 to 24 hours before their referral. they were sorted equally into two groups of 4-14 hours and   15-24 hours from onset of pain, each group including 128 patients.   results: in the first time period, the combination of troponin and myoglobin had the highest   sensitivity (sensitivity = 97.3%, specificity = 98.1%), whereas the combination of double-marker   and troponin proved the most sensitive (sensitivity = 100%, specificity = 96.3%).   conclusion: the double-marker combination of troponin and myoglobin is more appropriate   for the first time period (i.e. during the first 24 hours from the onset of chest pain),while it   would be more helpful to use the combination of troponin during the second period of time .

Comparative sensitivity of cardiac troponin I and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.

Criteria for the retrospective diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction rely heavily on increases in lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isoenzymes. However, increases of LD isoenzyme activities are not specific for myocardial injury. Recently, increased concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have been shown to be highly specific for myocardial damage and to have sensitivity comparable with that of...

Cardiac Troponin I for Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction*

Serial plasma concentrations of myoglobin, creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) isoenzyme, and cardiac troponin I (cTnl) were measured in 25 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and 74 patients who were suspected of AMI but were subsequently ruled out for this diagnosis. The cutoff concentration for the cTnl assay was optimally determined to be 2.5 ng/mL. Of the three...

Cardiac 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...

Role of salivary cardiac troponin I in acute myocardial infarction

Patients presenting in the emergency department (ED) with chest discomfort or other symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or unstable angina are at priority for triage and risk stratification. Their treatment is on priority basis and is time bound to have favourable outcome. The goal of door-to-needle time for patient with AMI subjected to fibrinolysis is less than 30 min, wh...

Comparison between cardiac troponin T and creatinine kinase MB mass in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

To the Editor: Recently, Paul Collinson and colleagues reported some results and perspectives about the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we want to show some results in a public hospital of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is considered the ‘gold standard’ in the diagnosis of MI since 2000, because of its high specificity for the heart muscle; howe...
