Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays have been adopted by many clinical
centres worldwide; however, clinicians are uncertain how to interpret the results. We sought …

Abstract Background/Aim To determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of high‐sensitive
troponin assays in the very early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)(less than 3 h …

Background Emergency departments worldwide are increasingly adopting rapid diagnosis
of patients with suspected myocardial infarction (MI) based on high-sensitivity troponin. We …

Background Current guidelines define acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by the rise and/or
fall of cardiac troponin with≥ 1 value above the 99th percentile. Past troponin assays have …

Background: New generation cardiac troponin assays have sufficient precision to detect and
quantify plasma troponin concentrations below the lower threshold of detection of the …

Background: Many papers evaluating high sensitivity troponin assays make the diagnosis of
myocardial infarction based on conventional troponin assays in clinical use at the time of …

Objectives Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Serial
troponin tests have been endorsed as essential diagnostic steps to rule out/− in acute …

Aims Troponin is the gold-standard for diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected
myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance …

Objective To obtain summary estimates of the accuracy of a single baseline measurement of
the Elecsys Troponin T high-sensitive assay (Roche Diagnostics) for the diagnosis of acute …

Background Data regarding high-sensitivity troponin concentrations in patients presenting to
the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of myocardial infarction may be useful …
