High Sensitivity Troponin

<p>High Sensitivity Troponin</p> <p>Guest: Allan S. Jaffe, M.D.</p> <p>Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.</p> <p>High-sensitivity troponin assays improve detection of myocardial infarction (MI). The assays detect low concentrations of the troponin protein, shortening the time interval required to identify myocardial injury and MI.</p> <p>Joining us today to discuss the role of the high-sensitivity troponin assay in the setting of MI is Allan S. Jaffe, M.D., a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.</p> <p>Specific topics discussed:</p> <ul><li>How the high-sensitivity troponin assay differs from previous assays of sensitive cardiac troponin</li> <li>Principles to guide clinicians in the use of the high-sensitivity troponin assay</li> <li>Troponin T assay or troponin I assay to detect myocardial injury vs. MI</li> <li>Utility of the high-sensitivity troponin assay in the emergency department</li> <li>Rapid rule-in and rapid rule-out protocols</li> <li>Patient flow and efficiency in the emergency department</li> </ul> <p>Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at <a href='https://cveducation.mayo.edu'>https://cveducation.mayo.edu</a> or on Twitter <a href='https://www.twitter.com/mayocliniccv'>@MayoClinicCV</a>.</p> <p>NEW Cardiovascular Education App: The Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME App is an innovative educational platform that features cardiology-focused continuing medical education wherever and whenever you need it.
