A recent study-level systematic review and meta-analysis reported that hs-cTn concentrations within the normal reference range were ... based on the high-sensitivity troponin levels; it ultimately ...

The mean age was 67years (range 19–96). There were 104 (67%) male patients. A troponin level of greater than 0.5μg/L was found in 30/156 (19%); 126 (81%) patients had normal troponin levels.

The rate of cardiac injury as determined by cTnI in this study was 19%. In trying to identify any factors that may contribute to an overestimation of cardiac injury, we consider the use of cTnI ...
