Does saliva troponin level testing correlate with blood troponin level testing in patients with myocardial infarction?
Saliva troponin testing is being investigated as a noninvasive alternative to blood troponin testing for diagnosing myocardial infarction.
Saliva troponin remains unproven as noninvasive alternative; cross-sectional data without quantitative correlation leaves question open.
Relation of Saliva and Blood Troponin Levels in Patients with Myocardial Infarction: Cross- Sectional Clinical Study Myocardial infarction is a cardiovascular disease that causes death and disabilities in patients. Diagnoses are essential for treatment. One diagnostic procedure is studying the amount of blood troponin levels.Considering the difficulties related to drawing blood from patients, using techniques such as testing saliva levels, as a noninvasive route, can be used
