Absolute Change in High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I at Three Hours After Presentation is Useful for Diagnosing Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Emergency Department.

CONCLUSIONS: The absolute hs-cTnI change at 3 hours after presentation was superior to the relative change, and a rise and/or fall in hs-cTnI of >16.2 ng/L at 3 hours after presentation was useful to identify AMI in patients presenting at the ED. PMID: 32539303 [PubMed - in process]
