ELEVATED HIGH-SENSITIVITY TROPONIN LEVELS ON PRESENTATION PREDICT INCREASED MORTALITY AMONG PATIENTS WITH NORMAL CONVENTIONAL TROPONIN LEVELS: INSIGHTS FROM A META-ANALYSIS

High-sensitivity troponin (hsTrop) assays can detect smaller myocardial infarctions (MI) undetectable with contemporary troponin assays (cTrop), it is unclear whether patients with hsTrop elevations in setting of normal cTrop have higher mortality. A search was made of PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE,
