Use of Cardiac Troponin Testing in the Outpatient Setting.

CONCLUSIONS: The majority of outpatient cTn orders were intended to evaluate for MI, although electrocardiograms were frequently not ordered and few patients were sent for further ED evaluation. Providers should be encouraged to use cTn testing in a manner that minimizes the potential risk to patients with possible MI. PMID: 31050800 [PubMed - in process]
