Abstract:
Cardiac autoimmunity has been widely studied over the last years. A lot of cardiac antigens have been identified. Laboratory tests for detection of antibodies against the heart are very helpful in diagnosing and monitoring cardiac autoimmune diseases, but the prevalence of anti-heart antibodies varies a lot between the tests. The aim of this paper is to review the number of laboratory assays used today and to determine the most suitable test for detection of cardiac autoantibodies in human serum.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
