Abstract:
An evaluation of the quantitative analysis of troponin T (a new marker of coronary disease) was carried out in the 150 patients of cardiovascular department of Hautepierre Hospital, Strasbourg Medical University, France from January to August 1998. The results have shown that the value of troponin T was much higher than this of creatinine Kinase (CK) and CK- MB in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The possitive predict value was 90% and the negative predicts value was less than 50%.
