Table 1 Clinical implications of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin
assays (cTn) (2)

Levels of hs-cTn should be interpreted as quantitative markers of cardiomyocyte damage


(i.e. the higher the level, the greater the likelihood of MI):
• Elevations beyond 5-fold the upper reference limit have high (>90%) PPV for
acute type 1 MI.
• Elevations up to 3-fold the upper reference limit have only limited (50–60%) PPV
for AMI and may be associated with a broad spectrum of conditions.
• It is common to detect circulating levels of cTn in healthy individuals.
Rising and/or falling cTn levels differentiate acute (as in MI) from chronic cardiomyocyte
damage (the more pronounced the change, the higher the likelihood of AMI).

hs-cTn assays (right) are reported in ng/L and provide identical


information as conventional assays (left, reported in μg/L) if the
concentration is substantially elevated, e.g. above 100 ng/L. In
contrast, only hs-cTn allows a precise differentiation between
‘normal’ and mildly elevated. Therefore, hs-cTn detects a relevant
proportion of patients with previously undetectable cardiac
troponin concentrations with the conventional assay who have hs-
cTn concentrations above the 99th percentile possibly related to
AMI.

among the different hs-cTn assays, mainly being between 10 ng/L
and 20 ng/L.

Initial Assessment & Management in ACS
1. Triage to an ACS pathway

2. Initiate general care

3.Assess risk of CV death or recurrent ischemia

4. Choose invasive or noninvasive initial strategy

5. Select a second antiplatelet agent to add to aspirin

6. Choose an anticoagulant agent

Conclusion
Accurate diagnosis of ACS has life-saving implications and
requires a careful assessment.
The initial management involves both aggressive medical
therapy and revascularization.
Early risk stratification permits the identification of high-risk
patients who stand to gain the most from potent therapies.
Aggressive attention to secondary prevention initiatives for
ACS patients (longterm therapy and control risk factor).
