Abstract
- The article discusses a study which demonstrated that the implementation of high sensitivity troponin assay with sex specific diagnostic thresholds may improve the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in women and identify those at high risk of reinfarction and death. It cites the differences in the diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction in men and women with suspected acute coronary syndrome. It also mentions the study's design, size, and duration.
