This webinar will describe the clinical need and analytical possibilities for creating troponin assays with improved specificity.

Learning objectives:

Current clinical utility and performance of cardiac troponins for diagnosing acute cardiac disease; Suggestions how to improve the clinical specificity when acute cardiac disease is investigated; Discussion of future troponin assays measuring different molecular forms of troponins, and how these may improve the clinical specificity of troponin measurements.

This webinar comprises of three following presentations of 20 min each followed by 20 min of panel discussion at the end.

Chair: Prof. Paul Collinson

Talk 1- "Improved specificity of troponin assays; what is the current clinical need" - Prof. Allan S. Jaffe

Talk 2- "Navigating Towards a More Specific Cardiac Troponin Assay" - Prof. Steven Meex

Talk 3- "Novel assays for measuring different molecular forms of troponins" - Dr. Saara Witfooth
