Authors' recommendations:
Study found that hospital admission for 10-hour troponin testing to diagnose myocardial infarction was unlikely to be cost-effective compared with high-sensitivity troponin testing at presentation, unless rapid decision-making and discharge was possible. There was insufficient evidence to support the routine use of alternative biomarkers alongside troponin or routine investigation with exercise ECG or CTCA in troponin-negative patients.
