Taking Troponin to Heart

Premier Pulse January 2020 Jan 24, 2020

As of May 22, 2019, Premier Health and CompuNet Clinical Laboratories switched to a new troponin test: the High Sensitivity Troponin T (5th Generation) assay, and discontinued the Troponin T (4th generation) assay. The new assay is the most recent generation available and has been employed in Europe, Canada, and Asia since 2009.

Watch the video education session titled “Taking Troponin to Heart,” presented by Mukul Chandra, MD, vice chair of Premier Cardiovascular Institute.
