Abstract
Background: In Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST-segment elevation, the use of high-sensitivity troponins in rapid protocols is considered the gold standard for diagnostic exclusion/confirmation, in conjunction with clinical stratification. The biggest concern regarding the techniques for troponin evaluation is the time required between collection and delivery of the result.
Objective: The objective of the present study is the clinical/laboratory validation of a POCT device for TnI.
Methods: In the first phase of the study, samples from 108 patients with known troponin values High Sensitivity Automated Troponin T (TnT) assay from Roche Diagnostics were analyzed for analytical comparability between hs-cTnI of the Analyzer Atellica® vTLi and hs-cTnT Cobas®. The second phase of the study was performed with samples from 51 patients who reported to the emergency department with chest pain for a clinical prospective evaluation and correlation between the hs-cTnI assays of the Analyzer Atellica® vTLi, hs-cTnT Cobas® and Atellica IM 1300.
Results: There was a correlation between the POCT Atellica® vTLi and hs-cTnT Cobas® in the serum samples of the control group (r = 0.660, p < 0.0001). Besides, there was a correlation between the Atellica® vTLi, serum hs-cTnT Cobas®, plasma hs-cTnT Cobas®, serum Atellica IM and plasma Atellica IM 1300 platforms in the second phase (p < 0.0001 in all cases).
Conclusion: In the present study, the Siemens POCT Atellica® vTLi device showed excellent performance in laboratory validation and correlation with the high-sensitivity TnT assay in different troponin concentration ranges. Given these results, the device can be used in institutions that intend to use a POCT device for 0- and 1-hour chest pain protocols.

期刊介绍:
Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.
Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.
Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.
