Chest pain with less than 20% change in high sensitivity troponin T - a low risk cohort?

CONCLUSIONS: Obstructive CAD and need for revascularisation are frequent in chest pain presenters with ΔhsTnT <20%. The increasing focus on hsTnT algorithms to exclude ACS and promote early discharge without adequate clinical risk stratification modelling risks misdiagnosis of patients presenting with acute myocardial ischaemia with a low-level hsTnT rise.
