22 lis 2011 · Based on the 99th percentile rule, troponin decision limits of several high-sensitivity cTn assays can be set as low as 0.01 ng/mL. 6 This makes it possible to identify patients with ACS earlier, enabling earlier coronary intervention (Figure 2).
1 lip 2022 · Analytical considerations in deriving 99 th percentile upper reference limits for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays: educational recommendations from the IFCC committee on clinical application of cardiac bio-markers [published online June 18, 2022]. Clin Chem. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvac092
14 lip 2022 · This primer discusses the use of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) testing in context of the 2021 multisociety guidelines for the evaluation and diagnosis of acute chest pain, with a notable focus on analytical aspects of the hs-cTn assays and their implications.
28 mar 2022 · High-sensitivity troponin assays are used to detect troponins, but at a much lower concentration than classical assays. These assays offer several advantages, first of all being the fact that they are highly sensitive, thus providing faster recognition of AMI (rule-in/rule-out).
make important recommendations that include the recognition of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) as the preferred biomarker, endorsement of 99th percentile upper reference limits to define myocardial injury, and the use of clinical decision pathways, as well as acknowledgment of the uniqueness of women and other patient subsets.
1 mar 2021 · High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have the ability to detect minute troponin concentrations and resolve minor changes in biomarker concentrations.
1 lip 2022 · Clinicians should be aware of some of the analytical aspects related to hs-cTn assays regarding the limit of detection and the limit of quantitation and how they are used clinically, especially for the single sample strategy to rule out acute myocardial infarction.
