Critical Values

hs Troponin T >  200 ng/L

Absolute Deltas- when baseline hsTroponin T is < 100 ng/L

                2 hour:  ± 10 ng/L         Interpretation: significant

                4 hour: ± 11 ng/L          Interpretation: significant

                6 hour: ± 12 ng/dL        Interpretation: significant

Delta Percent- when baseline hsTroponin T is > 100 ng/L

                2, 4, 6 hour delta ±20 %             Interpretation: significant

 

Alert values will be called once every 48 hours when a new alert is defined.
