Why the study?
Discrepancies are occasionally observed between hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT laboratory results in individuals without cardiac disease, patients with cardiac diseases, and those with neuromuscular diseases.
What are the biochemical, pathophysiological, and analytical mechanisms causing discrepancies between hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT test results?
