28 How sensitive should a cardiac troponin assay be? Sensitive enough to identify all subjects at risk of premature death in CVD This requires: Assays that measure normal levels of cardiac troponins with acceptable imprecision The currently available POC assays are too insensitive for risk prediction. Negative results should always be confirmed by sensitive laboratory assays

29 It is not only sensitivity that matters the assay must pick up the clinically relevant molecules! A comparison between Access AccuTnI and Siemens Centaur ctni Ultra
