Key result
Among patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, a positive troponin test was associated with T wave inversion on ECG.
Why the study?
Do specific ECG changes correlate with positive troponin tests in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome?
Observational (n=50)
No
Do specific ECG changes correlate with positive troponin tests in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome?
In patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, T wave inversion on ECG is significantly associated with a positive troponin test.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
T wave inversion may correlate with troponin positivity in NSTE-ACS; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

arwa mahmood fuzi abdulqader alsarraf (2013) conducted an observational in Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (n=50). ECG and troponin I test was evaluated on Association between ECG changes and positive troponin test (p=0.05). Among patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, a positive troponin test was associated with T wave inversion on ECG.
