Implementation of High-Sensitivity Troponin for Early Rule-Out of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Emergency Department
Integration of hs-cTnT into our chest pain clinical pathway resulted in increased ED discharges, reduced LOS, and fewer additional tests without a change in MACE. This translates to a savings of almost 7,000 ED hours annually without compromising safety.
