Chest pain management: high-sensitivity cardiac troponin supports rapid assessment of non-acute myocardial infarction patients
The introduction of cardiac troponin (cTn) assays has helped improve the triage of chest-pain patients. Evolution from relatively insensitive cTn assays to high-sensitivity assays has necessitated evolving testing approaches to optimize clinical utility. The latest generation (high-sensitivity cTn) support rapid diagnostic protocols aiding in the earlier discharge of a significant percentage of non-AMI patients, as […]
