Article Synopsis
- Patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) pose diagnostic challenges, with 30% ultimately diagnosed with AMI among 8830 evaluated participants.
- ECG criteria showed low sensitivity (1%-12%) but high specificity (95%-100%) for detecting AMI, while high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) tests demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.89-0.91).
- A combined diagnostic approach using ECG and hs-cTn measurements over time significantly improved early diagnosis accuracy for AMI in patients with LBBB.
Background: Patients with hepatic metastases from neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) benefit from an early diagnosis, which is crucial for the optimal therapy and management. Diagnostic procedures include morphological and functional imaging, identification of biomarkers, and biopsy.
Objective: The aim of six systematic reviews discussed in this study is to assess the predictive value of Ki67 index and other biomarkers, to compare the diagnostic accuracy of morphological and functional imaging, and to define the role of biopsy in the diagnosis and prediction of neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases.
