The clinical implications of elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

The new generation high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays have been used in clinic for nearly 5 years in China.In 2012,several new high-sensitivity assays have been approved to be used in clinic in other countries,and they are under inspection of Chinese Food and Drug Ddministration.Because the new generation assays' sensitivity is improved,acute coronary syndrome could have been diagnosed 2-3 hours earlier,and small cardiac injuries that could not be detected by previous assays are detectable now.But its advantages also bring challenges to doctors.Many doctors can't even use previous assays well.The clinical doctors and laloiatory stuffs need to comunicate and reach a consensus just like American doctors do before American food and drug administration approve it.
