The article deals with short review of main provisions of international recommendations concerning new diagnostic criteria of cardiac infarction and algorithms of highly sensitive measurement of circulating concentrations of cardiac troponins. The particular attention is paid to methods of serial highly sensitive measurement of levels of troponins making it possible to confirm or to exclude cardiac infarction during 1-3 hours after admission of patient. The perspectives and problems related to implementation of highly sensitive troponins into common practice of laboratory diagnostic are discussed.
