For Patients at Risk, a Simple Blood Test Can Help Doctors Predict Likelihood of Future Heart Attack, Other Cardiac Events, and Death
- The Atellica IM TnIH test helps predict patient risk of cardiac events/death for up to one year
-
This high-sensitivity troponin test is the only one in

For the large number of chest pain patients who do not end up with a current heart attack diagnosis, the Siemens Healthineers Atellica IM TnIH test may provide information about their impending risk. As many as 48.9% of patients with an elevated cardiac troponin I result will go on to experience death or a major adverse cardiac event.
“The new Atellica IM TnIH indication helps us predict which patients may be on the cusp of a major cardiac event,” said Dr.
This information can potentially help reduce high readmission rates associated with cardiac ED visits—30% readmission rates were observed within the first 12 months after initial MI.3 “If just one patient is triaged more effectively because of the clinical information this blood test provides, it could lead to faster intervention, prevent hospital readmission, or even save a life,” said
The guideline-acceptable High-Sensitivity Troponin I tests are well-established aids in the diagnosis of heart attack for use on the Atellica Solution, Atellica CI Analyzer, and ADVIA Centaur platforms. With a 10-minute time to first result, the Atellica IM TnIH test now can be used as an aid in prognosis for 30-, 90-, 182-, and 365-day all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MACE consists of myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization, cardiac death, or heart failure hospitalization.
The test was first cleared by FDA for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative measurement of cardiac troponin I in human serum or plasma (lithium heparin) to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Since its introduction, the blood test has widely demonstrated its clinical utility in patient care across the globe. The high-sensitivity troponin I blood test offers more precise clinical assessment with highly sensitive detection of AMI in both sexes.5 More information about the Atellica IM TnIH test from
