Multicenter Study
Safety and efficiency of implementation of high-sensitivity troponin T in the assessment of emergency department patients with cardiac chest pain.
For emergency department (ED) patients with cardiac chest pain, introduction of high-sensitivity troponin (hsTnT) pathways has been associated with reductions in length of stay of less than 1 h. ⋯ Implementation of hsTnT for evaluation of ED chest pain patients was safe and associated with a 3-h decrease in length of stay.
