Troponin I, laboratory issues, and clinical outcomes in a district general hospital: crossover study with “traditional” markers of myocardial infarction in a total of 1990 patients

Abstract

Younger patients without IHD were discharged earlier during the cTnI stage in apparent safety. Blood sample timing needs to be verified when cTnI is used as an adjunct to early discharge. There were no unexplained false positives or negatives. Standardisation related issues arose.
