Background: High sensitivity troponin assays have become widespread for emergency department evaluation of acute chest pain. We assessed if a high sensitivity troponin under the 99th percentile upper reference limit drawn at 6 h or greater from symptom onset could safely rule out acute coronary syndrome in patients who did not meet the rapid rule-out strategy.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study examining emergency department patients with chest pain who did not meet rapid-rule out criteria and were admitted for further evaluation.
