Gender-based differences of copeptin alone or combined with troponin for early rule-out of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Little is known about the role of gender in the dual biomarker strategy using copeptin and troponin for the early rule-out of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to evaluate gender-based differences on copeptin levels, combined negative predictive value (NPV) and predictors of copeptin elevation at admission.
