The results of our analysis suggests that, despite the existence of only one fully-automated immunoassay for measuring cTnT, the current popularity of cardiac biomarkers seems to favor cTnT. Even in areas traditionally bound to cTnI, such as Canada and northern Europe, the scenario has changed during the past decade, especially during the past 12 months, with a weekly volume of Google searches for cTnT offsetting that for cTnI. The recent clearance of high-sensitivity-cTnT immunoassay in United States is probably linked with the observed change in tendency, which has led to broad diffusion of the test in the country.

Abstract
The results of our analysis suggests that, despite the existence of only one fully-automated immunoassay for measuring cTnT, the current popularity of cardiac biomarkers seems to favor cTnT. Even in areas traditionally bound to cTnI, such as Canada and northern Europe, the scenario has changed during the past decade, especially during the past 12 months, with a weekly volume of Google searches for cTnT offsetting that for cTnI. The recent clearance of high-sensitivity-cTnT immunoassay in United States is probably linked with the observed change in tendency, which has led to broad diffusion of the test in the country.
