La troponina T cardiaca (cTnT) è un marcatore prognostico indipendente,
capace di preannunciare l’esito a breve, medio e persino lungo termine
dei pazienti con Sindrome Coronarica Acuta
(SCA)
1-4.
Le linee Guida ESC 2020 confermano che, mentre hs-TnT e hs-TnI sembrano avere
accuratezza diagnostica comparabile, hs-TnT ha una migliore accuratezza prognostica5.
Valutazione prospettica di pazienti che si presentano al PS con dolore
toracico (n=3.823) stratificati secondo la probabilità clinica di SCA6.
Elaborazione grafica di dati da testo, Ref. 6
Sono molteplici le pubblicazioni in cui Troponina T-hs si rivela essere un valido ausilio nella stratificazione del rischio in altre popolazioni di pazienti7-12
HR: hazard ratio; hs-TnI: troponina I ad elevata sensibilità; hs-Tnt: troponina T ad elevata sensibilità; IC: intervallo di confidenza; PPV: valore predittivo positivo;
SCA: sindrome coronarica acuta.
