Sensitivity and specificity of troponin T enzyme estimated for diagnosis of myocardial cell damage

ABSTRACT

This study included 36 patients, [2 females and 34 males] with age range of 37-65 years [average 5 +/- years] of whom 24 were the studied group. The control group composed of 12 patients. The determination of troponin T compared with conventionally applied analysis of cardiac enzymes offers several distinct advantages for the diagnosis of AMI. Troponin T is normally not detectable in serum; its release in serum lasts long after acute M.1. improving detection of minor myocardial cell damage [1]
