What are the clinical and diagnostic performance characteristics of the high sensitivity Abbott cardiac troponin I assay for diagnosing myocardial infarction?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.92
The new high sensitivity Abbott cardiac troponin I assay demonstrates excellent analytical performance and diagnostic accuracy for myocardial infarction, comparable to existing assays.
Collinson et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction. High sensitivity Abbott cardiac troponin I assay vs. Four other troponin assays was evaluated on Diagnosis of myocardial infarction on admission (AUC 0.92). The high sensitivity Abbott cardiac troponin I assay demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.92 for diagnosing myocardial infarction on admission, comparable to four other assays.
