The conclusion of this article published in Circulation really brings the message home with the every - increasing sensitivity and by default a drop on the ROC curve for 1- specificity .
One physician commented :
“When troponin was a lousy assay it
was a great test, but now that it’s
becoming a great assay, it’s getting to
be a lousy test.”
Nevertheless this publication clarifies a lot and is a good guide to use the hs -TnT in the clinical arena.
The opinions expressed on this website are that of my own and do not reflect that of any employer or commercial organization.
