Identification of patients with acute chest pain at high risk for cardiovascular complications is a common and difficult challenge for clinicians and must be based initially on data from the history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and chest radiograph. Some data suggest that elevations in cardiac troponin T (cTnT) may be useful for detection of less severe degrees of myocardial injury that may occur in some patients with unstable angina. Therefore we designed a prospective follow-up study to assess the diagnostic performance and prognostic value of cTnT in a population of patients presenting to the emergency department with acute chest pain.
