Background：Troponin I(TnI) is the inhibitory subunit of troponin, the structural protein involved in the regulation of striated muscle contraction. Cardiac Troponin I(cTnI) is produced by cardiac muscle. cTnI has been considered as one of the most specific and sensitive markers of myocardial damage like acute myocardial infarction(AMI) for decades. Detection of cTnI in serum is widely accepted as a diagnostic tool in acute coronary syndromes.
