Why the study?
Does the use of S-troponin T and S-CK MB (mass) time series with individual baseline values improve the detection of minor myocardial damage compared to standard catalytic S-CK and S-CK MB in patients with acute myocardial ischemia?

May enhance detection of minor myocardial damage with individualized baselines; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Does the use of S-troponin T and S-CK MB (mass) time series with individual baseline values improve the detection of minor myocardial damage compared to standard catalytic S-CK and S-CK MB in patients with acute myocardial ischemia?
Using individual baseline values for S-troponin T and S-CK MB (mass) significantly enhances the detection of minor myocardial damage in patients with acute myocardial ischemia.
