A single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) test with findings below the level of detection, teamed with a nonischemic electrocardiogram (ECG), can identify patients with chest pain in the ...

Yet overall performance was good with both the ESC and High-STEACS strategies, leaving hospitals room to choose.

For patients with suspected ACS and no clear signs of ischemia on ECG, use of a 0/1-hour high-sensitivity troponin T testing protocol in which all test results were available to treating physicians ...

This study found that switching from a conventional troponin assay to a high-sensitivity troponin assay resulted in changes to diagnosis patterns and stress testing trends. Objectives: ...

Relying on the sex-specific 99th percentile upper reference limit of cardiac troponin may incorrectly suggest myocardial infarction (MI) in older adults with suspected heart attacks, though no ...

A simple £5 blood test for the protein troponin could predict a person's risk of heart attacks and strokes with greater accuracy than ever before, research suggests. Troponin is found in heart muscle ...

We undertook an international prospective cohort study involving patients 18 years of age or older who underwent cardiac surgery. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I measurements (upper reference ...
