Although the function of tnt is the same in all striated muscles, tnt originating exclusively from the myocardium cardiac tnt, molecular weight 39. Troponin t tnt is a component of the contractile apparatus of the striated musculature. And we found that groups made by us have different troponin. It should be remembered that non mi causes of a raised hs troponin t may also require admission e. We evaluated troponin levels in different group of people who came to our hospital. Troponin is a complex of three contractile regulatory proteins, troponin c, t and i, that control the calcium mediated interactions between actin and myosin in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Our findings question whether the diagnostic threshold for myocardial infarction should be based on the 99th centile derived from a normal reference. The architect stat troponini assay file must be installed on the architect i system with stat protocol capability from the architect i assay cdrom addition b prior to performing the assay. Investigations show that when hsctn is undetectable, ami is unlikely. Highsensitivity cardiac troponin in the evaluation of. Troponin t tnt conversion to ngml, ngdl, ng100ml, ng.
Sensitive or contemporary assays have been in use for a number of years. Jaffe and others published troponina cardiaca ultrasensible. To assess the diagnostic performance of highsensitivity troponin t hstnt in patients with suspected nonst elevation acute coronary syndrome nsteacs. Troponin levels marginally above 30 ngl do occur with alternative pathology.
Troponin assays with varying sensitivities are available. Diagnostic performance of high sensitivity troponin in non. Recommendations for the use of cardiac troponin measurement in acute. For detailed information on assay file installation and on viewing and editing assay parameters, refer to the architect system operations manual. Highly sensitive or high sensitivity troponin tests are available for clinical use throughout the world and are preferred to contemporary assays. Ruling out ami based on a single hsctn determination. Troponin i and t are specific to cardiac muscles, unlike troponin c which is associated with. Highsensitivity troponin in the evaluation of patients.
