Prognostic Importance of Sex-Specific Cardiac Troponin T 99th Percentiles in Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

We found no evidence supporting the use of sex-specific cTnT 99th percentiles in men and women admitted because of suspected acute coronary syndrome. This likely depends on sex-specific differences in disease mechanisms associated with small cTnT elevations. From a pragmatic perspective, a single cTnT cutoff slightly below 14 ng/L seems to be preferable as a threshold for medical decision-making.
