Provides clinical laboratory practice recommendations for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing in diagnosing myocardial infarction.
Prioritizes hs-cTn testing for MI diagnosis without ECG changes; extends Level 1 guidelines into routine laboratory practice.
The role of cardiac troponins (cTn) have become increasingly important in diagnosing myocardial infarction (MI), especially in patients without electrocardiogram abnormalities (1).
