The detection of an increase and/or decrease of cardiac troponin (cTnI) values, with at least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit (URL) have a central role in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosis. The employment of sex specific 99th percentile URLs and High-sensitivity (Hs) assays are recommended. We assessed sex specific 99th percentile URL for Access Hs-cTnI and AccuTnI3+ (Beckman Coulter) using European donor reference population following recent International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) recommendations.

Abstract

The detection of an increase and/or decrease of cardiac troponin (cTnI) values, with at least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit (URL) have a central role in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosis. The employment of sex specific 99th percentile URLs and High-sensitivity (Hs) assays are recommended. We assessed sex specific 99th percentile URL for Access Hs-cTnI and AccuTnI3+ (Beckman Coulter) using European donor reference population following recent International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) recommendations.
