High-sensitivity troponin testing improved processes, outcomes, hospital studies find
One study found that implementation of high-sensitivity testing reduced five-year mortality among patients with nonischemic myocardial injury, while another showed that it increased serial troponin testing but not hospital admissions.

Algorithms for suspected myocardial infarction perform worse in falling troponin pattern
Researchers compared the performance of the European Society of Cardiology 0/1- and 0/3-hour algorithms by whether patients had stable, falling, or rising patterns of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T.

Elevated troponin levels associated with increased mortality in all age groups
Troponin was directly associated with mortality in patients without acute coronary syndrome and those with acute coronary syndrome who were managed medically. In patients treated invasively, there was a paradoxical decrease in mortality risk at the highest troponin levels.
