- Abstract
The article presents a study aimed to validate an accelerated biomarker strategy through the use of a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assay to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study is undertaken through the use of single-centred, prospective, observational cohort study of 764 patients presenting symptoms of acute coronary syndrome from November 2008 to February 2011. The results of the study show that the proposed strategy is effective.
