Negative ultrasensitive troponin T values may help discriminate patients with chest pain in the emergency

New laboratory tests can detect minimally elevated  levels few hours before regarding detection methodologies of previous generations.The hypothesis of this study is that patients with undetectable ultrasensitive troponin (

Conclusion

The undetectable ultrasensitive troponin T values in patients with chest pain and no signs of ischemia on the electrocardiogram has an accuracy close to 100% to rule out acute myocardial infarction regardless of the duration of symptoms, time of dosage of troponin , age or sex.
