The success story of contemporary high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays is remarkable and had great impact on this question: Biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were first introduced in the 1960s with the use of aspartate transaminase (AST) which was also incorporated into the World Health organization (WHO) definition of AMI (1,2).
