Optimizing Cardiovascular Assessment: Reducing Unnecessary Cardiac Troponin I Testing
In the last few decades, cardiologists have observed an important decrease in the fatality rate for myocardial infarction (MI) patients admitted to the hospital.Faster and more accurate diagnostic methods, precise risk stratification, and better treatment are related to this auspicious scenario (1).Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has emerged as a critical biomarker for assessing myocardial injury, confirming diagnosis, identifying high-risk individuals, and guiding treatment.
