description Laboratory diagnosis plays one of the key roles in the diagnosis of many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The methods underlying the in vitro study of many CVD biomarkers, including cardiac troponins (cTnI and cTnT), are imperfect and are continually being improved to enhance their analytical performance, with sensitivity and specificity being the most important. Recently developed improved cTnI and cTnT detection methods, referred to as highly sensitive methods (hs-cTnI, hs-cTnT), have changed many of our ideas about the biology of cardiac troponins and opened up a number of additional diagnostic capabilities for practical healthcare. This article systematizes some relevant data on the biology of cardiac troponins as well as on methods for determining cTnI and cTnT with an analysis of the diagnostic value of their analytical characteristics (limit of blank, limit of detection, 99th percentile, coefficient of variation, and others). Data on extracardiac expression of cTnI and cTnT, mechanisms of formation and potential clinical significance of gender, age, and circadian characteristics of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT content in serum are discussed. Considerable attention is paid to the discussion of new diagnostic capabilities of hs-cTnI, hs-cTnT, including consideration of promising possibilities for their study in biological fluids that can be obtained by non-invasive methods. Also, some possibilities of using hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT as prognostic laboratory biomarkers in healthy people (for example, to assess the risk of developing CVD) and in patients suffering from a number of pathological conditions that cause damage to cardiomyocytes are examined, and the potential mechanisms underlying the increase in hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT are discussed.
