Impact of switching high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays on risk stratification in suspected acute coronary syndrome
Risk stratification thresholds for hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT assays do not provide equivalent performance. The hs-cTnT assay and threshold identified fewer low-risk patients suitable for discharge, with fewer subsequent cardiovascular events at 1 year.
