It is 1 ng/ml, the unit used in conventional troponin assays. This could correspond to 1000 ng/L using high-sensitivity (hs) troponin assays. However, the conversion truly depends on the hs-troponin assay, and it is not exactly x1000.; such comparative data is not available, to my knowledge, and my observation suggests that 1 ng/ml may correspond to 200-300 ng/L with some hs-troponin assays (i.e., >200-300 ng/L hs-troponin may be highly suggestive of underlying CAD or type 1 MI)
@@eliashanna8248 Thank you, Dr.Elias, for the great explanation, by the way when the next edition of your book will be available, I read the first edition and it was a unique one.
Great lecture Dr. Hanna. Keep up the great educational work on RUclips! We appreciate it
Thank you Dr.hanna
Thanx prof. For these great efforts
Thank you so much for these lectures, Dr. Hanna!
Great sir
In Type 2 MI with underlying CAD Troponin may be >1, my question is what is the unit used to measure troponin
