High Sensitivity Troponin
Guest: Allan S. Jaffe, M.D.
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
High-sensitivity troponin assays improve detection of myocardial infarction (MI). The assays detect low concentrations of the troponin protein, shortening the time interval required to identify myocardial injury and MI.
Joining us today to discuss the role of the high-sensitivity troponin assay in the setting of MI is Allan S. Jaffe, M.D., a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- How the high-sensitivity troponin assay differs from previous assays of sensitive cardiac troponin
- Principles to guide clinicians in the use of the high-sensitivity troponin assay
- Troponin T assay or troponin I assay to detect myocardial injury vs. MI
- Utility of the high-sensitivity troponin assay in the emergency department
- Rapid rule-in and rapid rule-out protocols
- Patient flow and efficiency in the emergency department
