Utility of cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase-MB_mass, myosin light chain 1, and myoglobin in the early in-hospital triage of “high risk” patients with chest pain

Abstract

Patients with high risk clinical features on admission who have negative cTnI and CK-MB(mass) concentrations at 0, 4, and 8 hours later have a favourable in-hospital prognosis and could be considered for early triage out of coronary care units.
