Clinical Implications of High-Sensitivity Troponin Elevation Levels in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients: Beyond Diagnostics.

Standard troponin has long been pivotal in diagnosing coronary syndrome, especially Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). The recent introduction of high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTnI) has elevated it to the gold standard. Yet, its nuanced role in predicting angiographic lesions and clinical outcomes, notably in specific populations like obesity, remains underexplored.
