August 13, 2012 (Basel, Switzerland) — Swiss researchers have published more details about what they say is a simple algorithm employing high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin T that can safely rule ...

Using clinical assessment and an ECG on top of a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin test may add little in the way of prognostic benefit as compared with the assay alone, at least for predicting 30-day ...

Measuring high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) at presentation and after 1 hour not only identifies chest pain patients in the emergency department (ED) who are having an acute myocardial ...

To rule out MI among patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain, newer, more rapid European Society of Cardiology (ESC) algorithms for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin ...

In some U.S. emergency departments (EDs), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-hour troponin algorithm has shown uniquely poor performance ruling out cardiac events in patients presenting with ...

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 ...

“Both the high safety standard and the risk [that] missed ACS poses to patients and clinicians contribute to over-testing, which exposes patients to costs and iatrogenic harm while contributing to ED ...
