Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates cardiac troponin levels in patients suspected of having non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) to validate a proposed cutoff for further triage and improve patient assessment in emergency settings.
- - Out of 2,076 patients surveyed, 1,512 were either ruled out or ruled in for NSTEMI using existing guidelines, while 564 patients fell into an 'observe-zone,' revealing a prevalence of NSTEMI in that group.
- - A new criterion was derived from the results, suggesting that a 3-hour hs-cTnT concentration of less than 15 ng/L and a change of less than 4 ng/L could effectively rule out NSTEMI in 99.
