Bedside echocardiography in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction without ST elevation
In this observational study, it could not be shown that bedside echocardiography in the context of suspected acute MI without ST elevation substantially improves diagnostic accuracy beyond hs-cTn-based diagnostic protocols to identify MI in patients assigned to the observe zone. However, findings on echocardiography helped to identify high-risk patients. More prospective evidence on the use of bedside echocardiography is needed to increase the body of evidence. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02355457.
