6 the advantages of high-sensitivity assays should be weighed against the disadvantage of reduced clinical specificity.

7 High-sensitivity c-troponin assays No real consensus exists on how to define a highsensitivity assay in analytical or clinical terms With improvements to diagnostic sensitivity, the diagnostic clinical specificity will decrease to as low as 65-75% The real challenge is how to define and select healthy individuals Apple FS.

19 Ogni cosa al suo posto In addition to clinical indicators of myocardial ischaemia, a ctn value >99th percentile of a healthy reference population, together with a relevant temporal change in ctn concentration, are required for diagnosis of acute MI (specifically non-st-segment elevation MI [NSTEMI], as STEMI is diagnosed by ST-segment elevation on the electrocardiogram and is not the target of biomarker testing).

29 Early risk stratification in ACS: The importance of heart failure

30 Acute chest pain in the Emergency Room Identification and examination of low-risk patients 596 pts with chest pain admitted to ER at Brigham No single variable could identify low-risk pts as well as a normal ECG A combination of 3 variables sharp or stabbing pain, no history of angina or MI and pain with pleuritic or positional characteristics or pain reproduced by palpation of the chest wall - defined a very low-risk group in which the ECG did not add accuracy and was potentially misleading Standard cardiac enzymes were of almost no use as an emergency room indicator of myocardial infarction Lee TH. Arch Intern Med 1985;145:65

31 ECG: the ideal tool for diagnosis, risk stratification, Decision making and therapeutic monitoring in ACS Ideally, a clinical tool is useful for diagnosis, risk stratification, clinical decision making, and monitoring therapy. Few existing tools address the statistical requirements of each stage of clinical use. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is one exception and is central to each stage via diagnosis, prognosis, clinical decision making, and monitoring therapy. Scirica BJ. JACC 2010;55:
