Supports hs-cTn for early AMI rule-out; extends cost-effectiveness evidence versus standard troponin testing.
Do high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays improve the early rule-out of acute myocardial infarction and cost-effectiveness in adults with acute chest pain compared to standard troponin testing?
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing may provide an effective and cost-effective approach to the early rule-out of acute myocardial infarction in adults presenting with acute chest pain.
