Update on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin in patients with suspected myocardial infarction
Key result
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays increase diagnostic accuracy for myocardial infarction at emergency department presentation, reducing the time required for safe rule-out or rule-in.

Implication
May enable faster MI rule-out in EDs; leaves open optimal thresholds and outcome validation in routine care.

Intervention
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays

Accuracy for early diagnosis of myocardial infarction
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays enable precise quantification of cardiomyocyte injury, improving early diagnostic accuracy and reducing time for MI rule-in/rule-out.
Cite This Study
Twerenbold et al. (2018) conducted a review in suspected myocardial infarction. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays was evaluated. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays increase diagnostic accuracy for myocardial infarction at emergency department presentation, reducing the time required for safe rule-out or rule-in.
