High-Sensitivity Troponin Test May Overestimate Risk in PE
For patients with hemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism (PE), there was no prognostic value found for the mild elevations in cardiac troponin captured only on high-sensitivity assays at the emergency room, based on an exploratory analysis of the PROTECT cohort study. Whereas a finding of conventional cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation was associated with a complicated […]
