Featured Abstract
Rapid exclusion of acute myocardial injury and infarction with a single high sensitivity cardiac troponin T in the emergency department: A multicenter United States evaluation.
There are good data to support using a single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) below the limit of detection (LoD) of 5 ng/L to exclude acute myocardial infarction. total of 85,610 patients were evaluated in the CV Data Mart Biomarker cohort, amongst which 24,646 (29%) had a baseline hs-cTnT<6 ng/L. Women were more likely than men to have hs-cTnT<6 ng/L (38% vs. 20%, p<0.0001).
