Gender-Specific Reference Values for High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T and I in Well-Phenotyped Healthy Individuals and Validity of High-Sensitivity Assay Designation.

CONCLUSIONS: In a well-phenotyped healthy cohort, reference values for hs-cTnT were slightly higher, whereas hs-cTnI cut-offs were considerably lower than previously observed. Gender differences were more pronounced in hs-cTnI than in hs-cTnT and were further reduced for hs-cTnT by application of stricter health definition criteria. Contrary to hs-cTnI, hs-cTnT fulfilled criteria for hs designation for both genders. PMID: 31786204 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
