Transitioning high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) into routine diagnostic use: More than just a sensitivity issue

Abstract

Laboratories should analytically and clinically verify hs-cTn assays before use, with attention to performance and the clinical and diagnostic algorithms that support appropriate testing and result interpretation. Work in the pre- and post-analytical phases is necessary to augment the analytical improvement in the new era of troponin testing.
