Comparing conventional and high sensitivity troponin T measurements in identifying adverse cardiac events in patients admitted to an Asian emergency department chest pain observation unit

Background: High sensitive cardiac troponin assays can be used for prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with chest pain. Methods: We included patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome in the emergency department observation unit. We compared the accuracy o...
