Fifth-Generation Cardiac Troponin Assays Compared

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are highly specific biomarkers of myocardial injury. The 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) of a normal reference population is the recommended threshold which defines an increased cTnI or cTnT plasma concentration indicative for myocardial injury.
