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 . However, while improving clinical sensitivity for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, the increased ...
28 mar 2022 · In acute pulmonary embolism, even though 60% of the patients present with elevated hs-cTn levels, the detection of an elevated level of cTnI or T assessed by high-sensitivity assays are associated with an increased risk of mortality both in unselected patients and haemodynamically stable ones.
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.
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.
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.
1 lip 2022 · A low score (<3) predicts 30-day MACE miss rate within a range of 0% to 2%. In adult patients with recurrent, low-risk chest pain for >3 hours duration, we suggest a single, high-sensitivity troponin below a validated threshold to reasonably exclude ACS within 30 days.
26 lut 2024 · The appearance of new ST-segment elevations in ≥2 contiguous leads or the appearance of a new bundle branch block with ischemic repolarization patterns indicates an ST-elevation MI (STEMI), whereas the presence of a Tn elevation in the absence of these ECG changes indicates a non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI).
