Highly sensitive troponin assays
This review highlights the potential of highly sensitive troponin assays to improve the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and long-term risk assessment in coronary disease.
Cite This Study
Mohammed et al. (2009) conducted a review in Acute myocardial infarction and coronary disease. Highly sensitive troponin assays was evaluated. Highly sensitive troponin assays enable accurate measurement at and below the 99th percentile, improving the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and risk prediction in coronary disease.
