“…It was subsequently documented that 9% of specimens had lower cTnT levels in heparin plasma than in serum. 24 Nevertheless, our cut-off value is almost identical to that of the FRISC II study 18 obtained by measuring cTnT in serum with the third-generation test.…”

“…Thus, compared with the first-generation test, Table III indicates improvements in many parameters in second-and third-generation tests; however, there was no change in the recommended upper normal reference level. Thus, in most risk stratification investigations of patients with ACS, reviewed in two recent meta-analyses of 47 studies, 18,19 the manufacturer recommended 0.1, and in some even a 0.2 µg/l discriminatory level was used to identify patients who were cTnT positive and negative.…”

“…In addition to the role of cardiac troponin as a diagnostic tool, a strong prognostic value for increased troponins exists, irrespective of the mechanism of injury, in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without renal insufficiency. [17][18][19] Furthermore, early pharmacological intervention trials with low molecular weight heparin as well as with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors have demonstrated a significant decrease in risk of death and nonfatal MI in cardiac troponin-positive ACS patients. 20,21 Whether aggressive interventional management in ESRD patients results in improved clinical outcomes has not been studied.…”

“…Это выглядит не очень логичным, поскольку признано, что повышение тро-понина является прогностическим признаком у пациентов с острым коронарным синдромом (ОКС), а степень его по-вышения коррелирует с размерами инфаркта миокарда [28][29][30]. Кроме того, при использовании новых, более чув-ствительных методов, повышение тропонина было обна-ружено после коротких периодов ишемии во время на-грузочного тестирования [31,32] и у больных со стабиль-ной стенокардией [33].…”
