High‐Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Compared With Standard Troponin T Testing on Emergency Department Admission: How Much Does It Add in Everyday Clinical Practice?

Abstract

In unselected ED patients the diagnostic performances of hs-cTnT and standard cTnT for AMI diagnosis did not differ significantly. hs-cTnT detected significantly more cardiac diseases. hs-cTnT and standard cTnT were not independent predictors of ED readmissions and mortality from all causes.
