Serial high-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to assess the diversity and practices of existing studies on several assays and algorithms for serial measurements of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) for risk stratification and the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) and 30-day outcomes in patients suspected of having non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI).

Methods

We searched multiple databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the CENTRAL databases for studies published between January 2006 and November 2021. Studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of serial hs-cTn testing in patients suspected of having NSTEMI in the emergency department (ED) were eligible. Data were analysed using the scoping review method.
