Despite the pervasive measurement of cardiac troponin for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, the continued evolution of assays and guidelines for their application has created uncertainty among many practitioners regarding the use of cutoff values for clinical interpretation. As such, many clinicians may not welcome more sensitive assays for troponin. Nevertheless, professional societies have advocated for improved analytic performance of commercial assays, resulting in a current generation of widely used troponin assays that are more sensitive than their predecessors. In this issue of the Journal, important studies by Keller et al. and Reichlin et al. reveal the advantages and limitations of diagnostic testing with the latest generation of sensitive assays for troponin.
