This webinar will discuss the diagnosis of acute and chronic myocardial injury and how it differs for myocardial infarction. It will further discuss differences between cardiac troponin T and I (cTnT and cTnI) for diagnosing myocardial injury and for long term-prognostication. Based on the current article including 754 patients who had been investigated for possible acute coronary syndrome and then re-measured with cTnT and cTnI after 3 months we will have a discussion of the following questions related to myocardial injury: - Stability over time; what is acute, what is chronic and what is a mix of chronic and acute? - Are there differences between cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I for identifying myocardial injury? - Clinical implications; does a diagnosis of acute or chronic myocardial injury by cTnT or cTnI provide long-term prognostic information?
