High-sensitive cardiac troponin T
Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The recent development of a high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay permits detection of very low levels of cTnT. Using the hs-cTnT assay improves the overall diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected AMI, while a negative result also has a high negative predictive value. The gain ...
متن کاملVariation of cardiac troponin I and T measured with sensitive assays in emergency department patients with noncardiac chest pain.
BACKGROUND New-generation high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin have lower detection limits and less imprecision than earlier assays. Reference 99th-percentile cutoff values for these new assays are also lower, leading to higher frequencies of positive test results. When cardiac troponin concentrations are minimally increased, serial testing allows discrimination of myocardial infarction...
متن کاملEmergency Department Crowding is Associated with Reduced Satisfaction Scores in Patients Discharged from the Emergency Department
INTRODUCTION Emergency department (ED) crowding has been shown to negatively impact patient outcomes. Few studies have addressed the effect of ED crowding on patient satisfaction. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of ED crowding on patient satisfaction in patients discharged from the ED. METHODS We measured patient satisfaction using Press-Ganey surveys returned by patients that visite...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitive Troponin Measurement in Emergency Department Patients Presenting with Syncope: A Retrospective Analysis
OBJECTIVE To study the relevance of high-sensitive troponin measurements in the acute workup in patients admitted to the emergency department of a large university hospital due to syncope. METHODS In this retrospective study all patients admitted to the emergency department because of syncope of the Inselspital, University Hospital Bern between 01 August 2010 and 31 October 2012, with serial ...
متن کاملThromboprophylaxis for Patients with High-risk Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter Discharged from the Emergency Department
Introduction Many patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF/FL) who are high risk for ischemic stroke are not receiving evidence-based thromboprophylaxis. We examined anticoagulant prescribing within 30 days of receiving dysrhythmia care for non-valvular AF/FL in the emergency department (ED). Methods This prospective study included non-anticoagulated adults at high risk for isc...
