Evaluation of a 1-hour troponin algorithm for diagnosing myocardial infarction in high-risk patients admitted to a chest pain unit: the prospective FAST-MI cohort study by Michael Amann, Felix Gaiser, Sandra Iris Schwenk, Faridun Rahimi, Roland Schmitz, Kambis Mashayekhi, Miroslaw Ferenc, Franz-Josef Neumann, Christian Marc Valina, Willibald Hochholzer

“…In 51.4% of patients diagnosed with MI, a primary non-coronary reason for MI was found (type 2 MI). Different receiver operating characteristic-curve derived cut-offs for troponin and its dynamics did not provide a sufficient differentiation between type 1 and 2 MI for clinical decision making (negative predictive value for rule-out of type 1 MI &lt;70%).Conclusions The 1-hour diagnosis algorithm for patients with suspected NSTEMI can accurately diagnose acute MI in high-risk cohorts. …”
