Association between cardiac troponin T elevation and angioscopic morphology of culprit lesion in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome

Serum TnT level was significantly associated with the prevalence of thrombus and yellow plaque at the culprit lesions of NSEACS. Troponin T, when positive was defined as ≥0.01 ng/mL, still have a high specificity for detecting intracoronary thrombus.
