title: [Assay of cardiac troponin T on Elecsys 2010: comparison with cardiac troponin I].
abstract: Cardiac troponin T (troponin Tc) of second generation has been measured on the Boehringer Elecsys 2010 analyzer. Cardiac specificity has been studied in patients presenting a rhabdomyolysis syndrome and the results compared with those obtained for cardiac troponin I (troponin Ic) measured on the Dade-Behring Stratus analyzer. The results clearly demonstrated that both troponin Tc and Ic showed similar cardiac specificity. Moreover, troponin Tc and troponin Ic can be indifferently used for the biological diagnostic of myocardial infarction or to asses reperfusion after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. In renal disease, troponin Tc was upper the reference limit (0.10 microgram/l) in 25% of the patients studied (20 patients). By contrast, troponin Ic was upper the reference limit (0.6 microgram/l) in only one patient.
