Overview

VIDAS® High sensitive Troponin I is an automated quantitative test for use on the instruments of the VIDAS® family for the determination of human cardiac troponin I in human serum or plasma, using the ELFA technique (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay). The VIDAS® High sensitive Troponin I assay is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) and for the risk stratification of patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with respect to relative risk of all‑cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) consisting of myocardial infarction and revascularization, at 30 days.

The troponin complex consists of 3 subunits (I, T and C) and is essential for the regulation of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction.1 In contrast to troponin C, cardiac-specific isoforms of troponin T and I exist. The release of cTnI and cTnT from cardiomyocytes is highly specific for myocardial injury. However, any type of injury, not just ischemic injury, can result in the release of cTn into the blood circulation.2 Consequently, cTn can also be elevated in other conditions than MI.

Specific antibodies have been raised against the cardiac-specific cTn isoforms, the basis of widely available quantitative cTnI and cTnT assays.3 Advances in technology have led to an improvement of the ability of cTn assays to detect and quantify cardiomyocyte injury. Because of their increased analytical power, allowing accurate measurement below the 99th percentile URL as well as accurate measurement of small absolute changes, high-sensitivity cTn (hs-cTn) assays enable earlier detection of AMI with shortening of the time window for serial testing.4-6
