Background: We aimed to prospectively validate a novel 1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity
cardiac troponin T measurement for early rule-out and rule-in of acute myocardial …

… -term mortality comparable to that of patients with consistent diagnoses (P=NS) and a
trend toward higher long-term mortality than patients diagnosed with unstable angina (P=0.05). …

Objective We aimed to prospectively derive and validate a novel 0-/1-hour algorithm using
high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) for the early “rule-out” and “rule-in” of acute …

Background The early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an
important medical and economic challenge. We aimed to prospectively evaluate the …

… High-sensitivity cTnI levels were significantly higher at all time points in patients with myocardial
ischemia as compared with those without (P < .001 for all). Combining clinical judgment …

… All hypothesis testing was two-tailed and p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically
significant. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows 21.0 (SPSS …

… < .001) and remained an independent predictor of ischemia in multivariable analysis (P < .…
(P < .001), which also tended to be superior to clinical judgment after exercise testing (0.69, P …

Objective Copeptin, a quantitative marker of endogenous stress, seems to provide incremental
value in addition to cardiac troponin in the early rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (…

… ventricular conduction (57.0%); P < 0.001 for both. The impact of … In all analyses, P-values
<0.05 were regarded as statistically … P-value for difference between groups by log-rank test. …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is among the leading causes of death worldwide [1].
Measurement of cardiac troponin (cTn) T or I currently form one of the cornerstones in the …
