Interpretation of cardiac troponin values
| Troponin value | Comment | Interpretation |
| Below detection limit of the assay | Undetectable by assay method used | No myocardial necrosis found |
| Between detection limit and functional sensitivity (%CV of 10) | Troponin present and can be distinguished from background but cannot be quantified repeatably at this level | Possible myocardial injury. In the context of suspected ACS, repeat after 6 hours and investigate |
| Above functional sensitivity | Definite myocardial necrosis, measurements are repeatable | AMI when seen in the context of suspected ACS |
