In response to the question of Dr.Myers about Troponin on the
ACS-180.
Day to day coefficients of variation are: 6.0% (0.96 ng/ml), 5.3%
(1.75 ng/ml) and 4.1% (3.80 ng/ml) obtained with Cardiac Control
BIORAD, 24 measurements each.
We are currently taking samples at a fixed period of 12 hours
after admission in patients with unstable angina. The results are
used to determine whether intervention is needed or the patient can
be discharged. For the diagnosis AMI we offer CK-MB measurement.
With best regards
Raymond Wulkan, clin.biochem.
