Key result
The 2019 surveys demonstrated an 85% adoption rate of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin methods and increased use of the 99th percentile cut-off, though significant gaps remain in post-analytical interpretation.
The transition to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays and the use of the 99th percentile cut-off is progressing well in European and Czech laboratories, though post-analytical interpretation and clinical integration require further improvement.

B Friedecký (2021) conducted a review in Acute myocardial infarction (laboratory diagnostics). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays was evaluated on Adherence to ESC guidelines for cardiac biomarker management. The 2019 surveys demonstrated an 85% adoption rate of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin methods and increased use of the 99th percentile cut-off, though significant gaps remain in post-analytical interpretation.
