High-sensitivity troponin assays and the early rule-out of acute myocardial infarction.

The article focuses on high sensitivity troponin assays that are used for detection of acute myocardial infarction. It mentions that cardiac troponins are regulatory muscle proteins that are released in the blood circulation after a myocardial injury. It states the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines to measure troponin levels on admission of patient and 12 hours after the onset of symptoms.
