Cite This Study
Chapman et al. (2019) conducted a review in suspected acute coronary syndrome. Point of care cardiac troponin testing was evaluated. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing facilitates early rule-out of myocardial infarction in patients presenting with chest pain, though implementation requires significant infrastructure.
