Abstract
The hsTnI assay identifies 8% more individuals with elevated troponin in an acute setting, with a female predominance (64%). However, only 6.7% of these individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors were diagnosed with ACS, a â¼0.5% increase overall. Outcome studies are required to determine if the Australian hs-TnI thresholds are clinically appropriate.
