Abstract
⺠Baseline and sequential hsTnI was assessed in patients with acute cardiac condition and catheterization. ⺠hsTnI is a sensitive, albeit unspecific marker of myocardial infarction. ⺠Relevant elevations of hsTnI also occur in patients with non-ischemic cardiac disease. ⺠Serial assessment and higher cutpoints increase sensitivity/specificity of hsTnI for NSTEMI. ⺠A clinical algorithm and concentration intervals for hsTnI are proposed which improve predictive values of hsTnI.
