High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T in isolation has limited diagnostic utility in identifying cardiac causes of syncope

This study examines the diagnostic accuracy of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnThs) for cardiac syncope and its predictive value for short-term (30 days) or medium-term (180 days) adverse events.
