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).
27 wrz 2024 · For high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), levels above 14 ng/l (nanograms per liter) are considered elevated and may indicate heart damage or a heart attack. For high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI), the normal reference ranges are: ≤15 picograms per milliliter (pg/ml) for women. ≤20 pg/ml for men.
Troponin I levels are substantially higher than troponin T levels in acute myocardial infarction. Troponin I levels may be up to 100 times higher than troponin T in the same individual. Hence, higher troponin levels should be expected when converting from troponin T to troponin I assays.
2 paź 2023 · Cardiac troponin I and T are specific and sensitive biomarkers of myocardial injury. They are the preferred serologic tests for the evaluation of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction. (See "Use of creatine kinase to detect myocardial injury", section on 'Why troponin is preferred'.)
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.
