We read with interest the recent article of Bouzas-Mosquera et al., who investigated
the impact effect of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values on the frequency of myocardial
ischemia and subsequent coronary events in patients with acute chest pain and biomarker
concentration within the normal range [
[1]
]. The evidence emerged from this well structured study underpins a number of critical
issues.Keywords
