Sensitivity and Specificity of Troponins in AMI

Abstract

A review was carried out to relate the presence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) by determining biomarkers, detailing their sensitivity and specificity, with the aim of determining the specificity and sensitivity of biomarkers in AMI. Different studies were evaluated, taking into consideration that they included clinical, electrocardiographic and enzymatic diagnosis, where the sensitivity and specificity of the different cardiac enzymes will be specified. The sex most affected with IMA was the female, after 60 years. Troponin T, of great importance in the prediction of events in patients with ACS. High values of brain natriuretic peptide have been associated with ventricular remodeling. The enzyme with the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis is TnI. The CPK MB enzyme behaved with a higher sensitivity and specificity than TnT, in diabetic patients at Hospital General Ambato.
