Management and outcomes of patients with unstable angina with undetectable, normal, or intermediate hsTnT levels

Patients with unstable angina (UA) are regarded to be at low risk for future coronary events. Guidelines discourage routine coronary angiography and recommend early discharge after individualized risk stratification. The relative value of clinical risk indicators as compared to cardiac troponin (cTn...

Zusammenfassung:Patients with unstable angina (UA) are regarded to be at low risk for future coronary events. Guidelines discourage routine coronary angiography and recommend early discharge after individualized risk stratification. The relative value of clinical risk indicators as compared to cardiac troponin (cTn) alone is unsettled in the era of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hsTn) assays. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, therapies, and outcomes of UA patients with different hsTnT concentrations.
