Importance of myocardial ischemia detected with protocol-based measurements of high-sensitivity troponin, ECG and echocardiography in critically ill patients without acute coronary syndrome—a prospective study
Abstract:Elevated cardiac troponin is detected in the majority of critically ill patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of protocol-guided detection of myocardial ischemia (MI) (serial 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG), high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) measurements, and echocardiography) and compare it with a retrospective cohort with only clinically driven detection of MI. In a prospective observational study, 95 patients hospitalized ≥48 hours for reasons other than acute coronary syndrome in m… Show more
