Cardiac troponins T and I (cTnT, cTnI) measured by immunoassay have
become the mainstay of clinical chemistry laboratories offering
rapid testing for emergency physicians and cardiologists who deal
with patients with chest pain. The extensive evidence for their
diagnostic and prognostic role has resulted in the redefinition of
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The acute coronary syndrome
which includes AMI and unstable angina is a disease continuum
rather than distinct separate entities. The use of cardiac
troponins has had major impact on the management of the chest pain
patient. This book presents current research on the analytical and
clinical aspects of using cardiac troponin and is aimed at
practising physicians, clinical and basic scientists and for the
next generation of medical students who are taught about these
markers in isolation without a deep seated knowledge of their
development, clinical use and more importantly, pitfalls.
