Mass Spectrometric Identification of Cardiac Troponin T in Urine of Patients Suffering from Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

We show here for the first time that cTnT can be present in the urine of AMI patients using a targeted LC-MS/MS assay. Whether the presence of cTnT in urine reflects a physiological or pathophysiological process still needs to be elucidated.
