Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will:

understand that the majority of unexpected cTn results are true due to the higher sensitivity of ctn for cardiomyocyte injury vs. cardiac imaging;
understand how to verify unexpected cTn results – 1) measure from a new sample 2) also measure the other cTn (e.g. cTnI if cTnT was measured before) 3) proceed with cardiac imaging;
know the pathophysiological causes of possible ‘false cTn’ elevations – 1) sample from other patient 2) chronic skeletal muscle disease, such as myopathy and myositis for cTnT 3) hetreophilic antibodies for cTnI; and
appreciate the opportunity and emerging data for other POC CV biomarkers.
