1. Abstract
At the dawn of the new century, the advent of more specific myocardial
tissue markers, such as cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT), has led to a
new definition of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by international guide-
lines. If we accept the concept that AMI is the portion of acutely necrotic
myocardial tissue (irrespective of size), some patients previously diagnosed
with severe angina may be currently considered to present minimal (even
microscopic) quantities of myocardial necrosis. Although increased cTnI or
cTnT values always indicate myocardial tissue damage, a positive test is not
able to identify the mechanism responsible for that cardiac damage (which
could be not due to ischemia). New cTnI and cTnT immunoassays with
increased analytical sensitivity may increase ‘‘false positive’’ results in
patients with cardiovascular disease, especially those with advanced age,
heart failure (HF), severe comorbidities (such as chronic renal insuViciency),
or assuming potential cardiotoxic drugs. Hence, it may be not clear for most
patients and physicians whether high-sensitivity cTnI and cTnT methods will
lead to more clarity or confusion. The aim of this review is to update the
present knowledge in the field of cTnI and cTnT with particular attention on
the impact of immunoassays with increased analytical sensitivity on both
laboratory and clinical practice.
About 25 years ago, few diagnostic tests were available for clinical practice
and considered useful in the assessment of cardiac necrosis, such as those
measuring the total enzymatic activity of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate
dehydrogenase. Unfortunately, those methods were characterized by low
sensitivity and specificity for cardiac damage. Some immunoassay methods
for structural proteins and cardiac isoenzymes, such as CK-MB isoenzyme
and myoglobin, were then developed (Fig. 1). These markers showed an in-
creased sensitivity, but only a relative specificity for cardiac disease, because
these proteins are also present in the skeletal tissue.
