Discordance Across High-Sensitivity Troponin Assays Can Affect Management of Suspected ACS
Júlia Karády, MD, and Udo Hoffman, MD, MPH, of the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center, observed marked discordance between high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays that would lead to different management of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome who had an inconclusive initial evaluation.
