39 Critical Issues for Success Highly sensitive test systems for troponin assessment improve diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction but results in detectable levels related to extracoronary causes. Troponin levels in acute and chronic heart failure are associaated with impaired outcome. In comparision with established heart failure markers like (Nt-pro)BNP or MRproANP, hs troponin does not provide specific information for the diagnosis of acute or chronic heart failure Highly sensitive troponin in the population might identify those individuals suffering from incident heart failure this offers biomarker guided primary preventive stratgegies. Highly sensitive troponin is strongly associated with echo-phenotypes of diastolic and systolic heart failure in ranges far below the decision criteria for AMI diagnosis.
