| Material | Serum 0.5 ml (centrifuged and separated shortly after coagulation, pipetted off) - please pay attention to the note – country-specific! – on the submission form regarding the temperature during storage/transport!
|
| Method | Chemiluminescence assay (CLIA) |
| Duration | Reporting of results on the day the sample is received (Mon–Sat) |
| Remark | - Acute myocardial cell damage (highly specific myocardial parameter); an increase may indicate cardiomyopathy and should be further clarified using imaging techniques.
- Measurement is done using a highly sensitive chemiluminescence immunoassay, making troponin I measurement particularly valuable for prognostic purposes in the lower measurement range and suitable for monitoring subtle changes in cardiac muscle cells.
