Implementation of an early rule-out pathway for myocardial infarction using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T assay

ObjectivesPatients with suspected acute coronary syndrome and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) concentrations below the limit of detection at presentation are low risk. We aim to determine whether implementing this approach facilitates the safe early discharge of patients.MethodsIn a prosp...
