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).
25 kwi 2017 · Schematic representation of five variations of rule-out strategies using high-sensitivity assays for troponin (hsTn) and the key concepts that underlie each element.
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.
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
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).
Hs-TnI assays allows for more accurate and precise troponin results at very low levels, which permits for the use of an accelerated chest pain algorithm for rapid rule-out/rule-in of AMI. The new hs-TnI reporting protocol will involve reporting results in ng/L (compared to the previous μg/L).
1 dzień temu · These hs-cTn assays are approximately 10-fold more sensitive than older conventional assays and can quantify detectable troponin levels in up to 50% of healthy individuals. 3,4 Although it was anticipated that the improved sensitivity would enable an earlier diagnosis and treatment of ACS, the reduced specificity and lack of high-quality ...
