The U.S. FDA approved the first high-sensitivity troponin assay, the Roche Diagnostics Elecsys Troponin T (TnT) Gen 5 Stat test, in March 2017.
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital (YKDHR) adopted this high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (Hs-cTnT) assay on November 12, 2019.
The high-sensitivity and contemporary troponin-T assays can be distinguished by the units in which they are reported: Hs-cTnT is reported in ng/L whereas the contemporary assay (cTnT) is reported in ng/mL.
