Chest pain is one of the most prevalent causes of Emergency Department (ED) admission and could be a presenting symptom of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the research about troponin and its limitations and new biomarkers used in patients with cardiovascular diseases, with a special focus on soluble Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) and Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (suPAR). In January 2024, a PubMed and Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine (RCM) search was carried out to identify all relevant papers in the past five years. 80 articles were included in the final review. ssT2 and suPAR are involved in both acute and chronic cardiovascular disease and can predict the risk of adverse events. sST2 and suPAR are promising biomarkers that, in combination with troponin, could help in the management of patients with chest pain in the ED. Further studies are needed to validate their role in management of ACS in this specific setting.
