SAFETY AND YIELD OF REST-STRESS MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING IN PATIENTS WITH MILDLY ABNORMAL HIGH-SENSITIVITY CARDIAC TROPONIN

Abstract

With high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) testing, as many as a third of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) will have mildly abnormal hs-cTn values that neither “rule-in” nor “rule-out” for acute myocardial infarction. The purpose
