LO01: Development and validation of an adjustment score for ruling out MI using a single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T assay in patients with chest pain and kidney dysfunction

Introduction : Very low concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin can rule-out myocardial infarction (MI) at ED arrival in patients with chest pain. However, this single troponin rule-out strategy works poorly in patients with renal impairment and elevated baseline troponin levels. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a troponin adjustment strategy to accurately rule-out MI with a single hs-cTnTmeasurement in...
