ecj-7834	Lippi, Giuseppe; Cervellin, Gianfranco	Diagnosing myocardial injury in the high-sensitivity troponin era	2018	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2465	105	43	This important evidence has led some authors to postulate that cardiac troponins may be used as the cholesterol of the third millennium, despite the fact that management of patients with measurable (but non-diagnostic) values of cardiac troponins remains undefined, especially in the short-term period (i.e., within 1-year).16,17 The last and perhaps more debated issue concerns the approach used for estimating the variation of cardiac troponin between two consecutive blood samplings. Throughout such a relatively short history (i.e., the first Universal Definition was only published in 2000),5 the major breakthroughs have concerned the identifica- tion of cardiac troponins (either I or T) as the reference (and virtu- ally only) biomarkers of myocardial injury, and the subsequent development of the so-called high-sensitivity cardiac troponin immunoassays, which have enabled to increase analytical sensitiv- ity, precision and reproducibility of these measurements far beyond the limits of the former techniques.	cache/ecj-7834.pdf	txt/ecj-7834.txt
