Undetectable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T level in the emergency department and risk of myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate if an undetectable (<5 ng/l) high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) level and an electrocardiogram (ECG) without signs of ischemia can rule out myocardial infarction (MI) in the emergency department (ED). BACKGROUND Chest pain is a common symptom often associated with benign conditions, but may be a sign of MI. Because there is no rapid way to r...

متن کاملStressing the Utility of High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Testing in Patients with Possible Cardiac Ischemia
Strategies to rule out myocardial infarction (MI)2 in the emergency department include stress test echocardiography, electrocardiography, and assessment of cardiac biomarkers such as troponin I and T (1). The potential for new high-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing to simplify and expedite these rule-out protocols is of great interest. Is all the hype justified? Or are we placing unreasonabl...
متن کاملOptimizing Early Rule-Out Strategies for Acute Myocardial Infarction: Utility of 1-Hour Copeptin.
BACKGROUND Combined testing of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and copeptin at presentation provides a very high-although still imperfect-negative predictive value (NPV) for the early rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We hypothesized that a second copeptin measurement at 1 h might further increase the NPV. METHODS In a prospective diagnostic multicenter study, we me...
متن کاملRapid Protocols to Rule out Myocardial Infarction.
Evidence Summary Cardiac troponin T and I are released into the bloodstream when cardiac muscle is damaged. Cardiac troponin tests have been available for decades and are the preferred biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1 However, until recently, they lacked sensitivity in the first few hours following an acute myocardial injury. Therefore, AMI could not be ruled ...
