Roche Elecsys cardiac Troponin T-high sensitive

Faster diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

Roche Troponin T-high sensitive (cTnT-hs)

Make a difference when every minute counts.

 

In the case of suspected AMI, prompt treatment is essential. Every 30 minutes of delay between symptoms and treatment increases the 1-year mortality rate by 7.5%.4

Troponin is the preferred biomarker in defining AMI according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines.5 In addition, it is the gold standard to distinguish between AMI and non-AMI patients.5,6

Roche Elecsys cardiac Troponin T-high sensitive (TnT-hs) can reduce the time needed to rule-in or rule-out NSTEMI to as little as just 1 hour.1-3

 Early and effective diagnosis with Roche  Elecsys cardiac Troponin T-high sensitive7-9

 

As supported by the use of the 0/1 hour rule-in and rule-out algorithm recommended by international guidelines5

Diagnosis

Safely reduce time to diagnosis

  • Triage over 75% of patients within 1 hour as validated by three multicentre studies with over 3,000 patients7-9
  • Safely rule-out AMI and confidently discharge patients based on a high negative predictive value (99.1% - 100%) and low 30 day mortality rate (0.0% - 0.2%)7-9
In-hospital management

Lower the need for cardiac stress testing

  • Significantly reduce the need for cardiac stress testing by exercise electrocardiogram (ECG)10

 

Disease monitoring

Shorten stays in the emergency department (ED)

  • Facilitate early discharge or transfer from the ED by reducing time spent in ED by 2.1 hours (33%) vs standard practice11
