Zero-hour thresholds to risk stratify patients for acute myocardial infarction using a point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin assay
This study identified two hs-cTnI thresholds (<5 ng/L or <8 ng/L) to identify patients at low risk and two thresholds (>25 ng/L and >60 ng/L) to identify patients at high risk for MI. Our findings provide promise for improving care in rural and inner-city medical settings.
