There are various cardiac biomarkers available for diagnosis and stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome but only few are cardiospecific and sensitive. Troponins are protein molecules that are part of cardiac and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle cells do not contain troponins. There are three subunits of troponin T, I and C subunits. Cardiac troponins are known to increase on myocardial cell damage leading to myocardial necrosis. The kinetic pattern of release of troponin is known. The technological advancements in Immunoassay has led to improvement in the limit of detection, (LoD) Limit of quantitation (LoQ) and cut off detection limits. There are decreases in false positive cases due to antihuman antibodies use of sandwich fifth generation Troponin T immunoassay. Recently the troponin T fifth generation by (Roche diagnostics) is approved by US-FDA. The cutoffs detections and positive 99 th percentile of reference population cutoffs has to be established by verification of manufacturers reference cutoff s limits. The delta change value after serial measurements of suspected patients with symptoms of AMI leads to diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
