Abstract
- Three new immunochemiluminometric assays for quantitation of cardiac markers, i.e. creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), myoglobin and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), were evaluated with the Sanofi Access analyser. The complete profile requires 20 min to perform, the method being suitable in true stat situations. In patients with early myocardial infarction (median time of sample collection: 210 min from onset, range 30450; n = 44), the diagnostic sensitivity of Access cTnI was 66%, compared with 80% for myoglobin, and 43% for CK-MB. For comparison, cTnI, with an automated immunofluorimetric assay was also measured (sensitivity, 45%; p &lt; 0.05 vs. Access cTnI). Our data confirmed myoglobin as the first biochemical marker to appear elevated after infarction. However, cTnI may be a more sensitive marker for early detection of cardiac damage than initially thought, when determined by an ultrasensitive method such as an immunochemiluminometric assay. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
