High-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 کاملHighly sensitive troponin assays and the cardiology community: a love/hate relationship?
The development of highly sensitive assays for cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and cardiac troponin I (hscTnI) represents the latest technological advance in a field that has witnessed continual progression toward more sensitive and more precise tools for detecting cardiac injury. The hs-cTnT assay, for example, can detect cTnT concentrations 10-fold lower than the current fourth-generation assay,...
متن کاملDetermination of 19 cardiac troponin I and T assay 99th percentile values from a common presumably healthy population.
BACKGROUND Between-assay comparability of 99th percentiles for cardiac troponin concentrations has not been assessed systematically in a single population for a large number of assays. METHODS We determined 99th percentiles for 19 cardiac troponin assays in heparin plasma samples from a population of 272 and 252 presumably healthy males and females, respectively. The assays evaluated included...
متن کاملIncremental value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T for risk prediction in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays have better analytical precision and sensitivity than earlier-generation assays when measuring cardiac troponin at low concentrations. We evaluated whether use of a high-sensitivity assay could further improve risk stratification compared with a standard cardiac troponin assay. METHODS We enrolled consecutive patients presenting with acute c...
متن کاملReference population and marathon runner sera assessed by highly sensitive cardiac troponin T and commercial cardiac troponin T and I assays.
BACKGROUND Endurance exercise can increase cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations as high as those seen in cases of minor myocardial infarction. The inability of most cTn assays to reliably quantify cTn at very low concentrations complicates a thorough data analysis, and the clinical implications of such increases remain unclear. The application of recently developed highly sensitive cTn immunoa...
