Diagnostic Performance of One-hour Delta High Sensitive Troponin in Acute Coronary Syndrome.
To determine the impact of an increase in the level of high sensitivite (HS) troponin-I between the time of Emergency Department (ED) arrival and one-hour after arrival (0h-1h), and between the time of ED arrival and three hours after arrival (0h-3h), upon the diagnostic performance of HS troponin-I to correctly diagnose AMI. ⋯ Delta HS troponin I value in the first hour was nearly as sensitive for detection of an AMI as was delta HS Troponin I third-hour value. Key Words: Troponin, Myocardial infarction, Acute coronary syndrome.
