Abstract

Background Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for patients to present to the emergency department (ED), and distinguishing between benign and life-threatening conditions is a critical challenge. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) has emerged as a valuable biomarker for assessing the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and other cardiac events in patients presenting with chest pain. This prospective study aims to assess the prognostic value of hs-cTn levels in predicting adverse outcomes in emergency room (ER) chest pain patients.
