Key result
The abstract describes the methodology of a retrospective study evaluating undetectable hs-cTnT for ruling out myocardial infarction, but does not report any results.
Why the study?
Does an initial hs-cTnT <5 ng/L combined with a non-ischemic ECG safely rule out short and long-term acute coronary events in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?

Comparison
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T <5 ng/L at… vs hs-cTnT between 5 ng/L and 14 ng/L at presentation

Does an initial hs-cTnT <5 ng/L combined with a non-ischemic ECG safely rule out short and long-term acute coronary events in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Bachetti et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in suspected acute coronary syndrome (n=1,640). Undetectable hs-cTnT (<5 ng/L) vs. hs-cTnT between 5 ng/L and 14 ng/L was evaluated on Fatal or nonfatal type 1 MI within 30 days of the ED visit. The abstract describes the methodology of a retrospective study evaluating undetectable hs-cTnT for ruling out myocardial infarction, but does not report any results.
