Sex-Specific Absolute Delta Thresholds for High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sex differences in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) concentrations from healthy populations have led to the establishment of sex-specific upper reference limits for hs-cTn assays. This study assessed the performance of sex-specific delta (i.e., changes in concentrations) thresholds for the hs-cTnT assay for ruling in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in different emergency department (ED) populations.
METHODS: This …
