Summary

It is crucial to rapidly identify cardiac ischemia in the care of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Cardiac troponins are a major factor in the diagnostic of myocardial infarction. New methods have been developed to improve the accuracy of the assay and determine low troponin concentrations. Elecsys® (highly sensible T troponin) TnT-HS assay is supposed to help early detection of myocardial infarction after onset of symptoms. It should therefore shorten the transit time to emergencies by a more rapid intervention or a faster return home. The aim of the study is to compare TnT-HS assay to the standard troponin assay in the detection of early cardiac ischemia in patients with ACS.
