Abstract

Biochemical markers are playing an im-portant role in the diagnosis of acute coro-nary syndrome (ACS). Due to their high sensitivity and absolute specificity for my-ocardial damage, cardiac troponins repre-sent the most widely used biomarkers for the diagnosis of ACS. Recently, a number of novel biomarkers have been evaluated as alternative markers that would bring add-ed value to the measurement of troponins. This manuscript gives an overview of the most commonly investigated markers in this field.

Keywords

acute coronary syndrome, high sensitive troponin, copeptin
