Weekly and 90-Minute Biological Variations in Cardiac Troponin T and Cardiac Troponin I in Hemodialysis Patients and Healthy Controls

Abstract

When using a cardiac troponin change of 20%-50% to diagnose an MI, the false-positive rate is likely to be lower for the hs-cTnT assay than for the hs-cTnI assay. The low II suggests that use of a diagnostic cutoff value can be omitted.
