Prediction of short- and long-term outcomes by troponin t levels in low-risk patients evaluated for acute coronary syndromes.

Study Objective: Recent reports suggest a short series of cardiac troponin (cTnT) testing effectively identifies patients at risk for cardiac events. However, there are few studies validating this strategy. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of cTnT levels to predict short- and long-term outcomes in low-risk patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes.
