What This Trial Is Studying

Cardiac troponin is a protein released into the blood when the heart muscle is damaged. Measuring this protein helps doctors diagnose a heart attack (also called a myocardial infarction). Modern blood tests, known as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, can detect very small amounts of this protein. A new version of this test, called Troponin T high-sensitivity Gen 6, has recently been developed and approved for use. It is designed to be more accurate and reliable, detecting smaller changes in troponin levels and being less affected by technical interference. The investigators…

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Age 18 years and over. * Attending clinician suspects acute coronary syndrome. * At least one measurement of cardiac troponin using the Gen 5 or Gen 6 hs-cTnT assay.
