Highly sensitive troponin bioassays with lower limits of detection are enabling the early diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS).In patients presenting to emergency services with chest pain, the positive predictive value of an elevated troponin due to ACS remains low, indicating that there are other non-ACS conditions causing troponin elevation.Diagnosing ACS accurately is of paramount importance, as this triggers increasingly more powerful and costly modern treatments, and also carries a permanent impact on the livelihood of the affected individuals.I am delighted to share with you a prediction score model which can help clinicians in distinguishing patients with ACS from other non-ACS conditions.
