Biomarkers: pros and cons of high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin

A 3-h algorithm using high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin to rule out myocardial infarction (MI) is recommended in current ESC guidelines. Whether faster rule-out algorithms can discriminate between MI and other conditions that elevate the troponin level, or be safely implemented across the...

Zusammenfassung:A 3-h algorithm using high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin to rule out myocardial infarction (MI) is recommended in current ESC guidelines. Whether faster rule-out algorithms can discriminate between MI and other conditions that elevate the troponin level, or be safely implemented across the whole spectrum of patient risk, is unclear.
