Download a summary of the only study that provides a direct comparison of sex-specific 99th percentiles for multiple high sensitivity troponin (hscTn) assays and provides evidence that hs-assays vary in analytical sensitivity. Not all assays marketed as “high-sensitivity” meet the joint AACC Academy/IFCC C-CB guideline criteria. Roche, Beckman and Abbott hscTn assays did not meet guideline criteria and failed to measure concentrations >LoD in ≥50% of women. The Siemens Healthineers TNIH assays all qualified as high-sensitivity troponin assays according to the guideline definition.
