Observational StudyQuantification and Description of the Increase in Serum Troponin Following Acute Coronary Syndrome

Sponsor:

Université de Sherbrooke

Code:

NCT01698021

Conditions

Acute Coronary Syndrome

Myocardial Infarction

Unstable Angina

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Study Details

Brief summary:

The new assay of troponins T (highly sensitive troponins) detects concentrations much lower than before. Few data are currently available on their kinetics during acute coronary syndrome, especially in regard to the correlation with CK MB. The aim of the present study is to describe the kinetic of highly sensitive troponins in acute coronary syndrome, to correlate it with the concentration of CK MB, and possibly to evaluate their prognostic value with respect to infarct size .
