Abstract
Methods for the determination of cardiac troponins have been significantly improved, facilitating further advancement of the therapeutic and diagnostic process of the cardiovascular diseases case management. In particular, acceleration of the acute myocardial infarction testing (early diagnostic algorithms: 0-1 h, 0-3 h) enabled earlier detection and choice of the optimal treatment tactics. At the same time, with the increased sensitivity in the laboratory test results interpretation, there emerged a necessity to take into account some additional factors that may affect the concentration of cardiac troponins in blood serum. Several recent studies have reported the existence of circadian rhythms in cardiac troponins. This article aims to discuss the possible mechanisms of how circadian rhythms of cardiac troponins develop and their influence on the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
