Popis: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is highly specific for cardiac muscle. In this study, we compared the utility of CK and CK‐MB index versus cTnI in the assessment of myocardial infarction in 155 patients being evaluated for myocardial damage. As a cardiac marker for MI, Troponin I seems to be superior to CK‐MB. In the subset of patients with renal disease, cTnI has definite advantages over CK‐MB. In addition, the use of cTnI has the potential to replace the measurement of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. J. Clin. Lab. Anal. 12:276–279, 1998. © 1998 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
