Human troponin assays warrant cautious interpretation in equine myocardial assessment; leaves open species-specific validation and standardization.
How should human troponin assays be used and interpreted in the assessment of the equine myocardium?
The use of human troponin assays in horses requires caution and critical interpretation due to a lack of veterinary-specific validation and standardization.
Rossi et al. (2013) conducted a review in Myocardial injury in horses. Troponin assays was evaluated. Human-validated troponin assays used for detecting equine myocardial damage face problematic application due to a lack of veterinary validation, standardized protocols, and reference materials.
