Abstract

The determination of high-sensitivity troponin remains the gold standard in patients with acute chest pain and allows the early diagnosis and therapy of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Increased cardiac troponin levels are highly specific for myocardial damage. However, elevated troponin levels are not equivalent to AMI and therefore the clinical presentation and the electrocardiogram of each patient must be taken into account. Elevated troponin levels are found in numerous diseases but not every patient needs invasive coronary angiography.
