Abstract

Abstract The use of serial measurement of cardiac troponin (cTn) is recommended by international guidelines for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) since 2000. This article focuses on factors influencing temporal changes in high-sensitive cTn (hs)-cTn and the impact of these factors on the diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI). The recommendations proposed by three different international guidelines published in 2020–2021 for the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in patients presenting without persistent ST-segment elevation (NSTE) show some discrepancies. In particular, there is no agreement among these guidelines about cut-off or absolute change values to be used for the rule-in, especially regarding the use of sex-specific cut-off values. Furthermore, there are no sufficient evidences on the diagnostic accuracy and cost effectiveness related to cut-off values suggested for algorithms to be used by some hs-cTnI methods.
