Why the study?
Does serial measurement of conventional and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin improve the distinction between type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction compared to clinical scoring systems in patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation acute chest pain?

Serial measurements of conventional or high-sensitivity cardiac troponin do not provide significant additive diagnostic value over a simple clinical scoring model for distinguishing type 1 from type 2 myocardial infarction.
