May support troponin T for AMI diagnosis and stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Does cardiac troponin T testing improve diagnosis and risk stratification in patients with acute cardiac ischemia?
Cardiac troponin T is a highly sensitive marker for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction and effectively risk-stratifies patients with ischemic heart disease.
Alonsozana et al. (1996) conducted a review in Acute cardiac ischemia / Ischemic heart disease. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) was evaluated on Diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cardiac troponin T is a highly sensitive (94-100%) marker for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction and effectively risk-stratifies patients with ischemic heart disease.
