Time to shift from contemporary to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin in diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes

Training and displaying the clinical algorithm depicting the role of hs-TnI assay in acute cardiac care units and in EDs are an efficient way to deliver the new standard of care to patients. Compared with contemporary troponin assays, the hs-cTn assay accelerates the diagnostic pathway to 0-1 h, thus reducing the time for diagnosis of NSTEMI and hence, its management.
