<p>Background: Current practice for suspected ACS involves troponin
testing 10-12 hours after symptom onset to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI).</p>
<p>Aim: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of early biomarkers
for MI to determine if an earlier, accurate decision was possible<br></p>
<p>Rationale: Early discharge of patients with no or low risk
of ACS will result in cost savings and reduced healthcare and patient burden.</p>
