Methods
In 80 consecutive patients presenting to the cardiologic emergency department with AMI suggestive symptoms, and a first measurement of standard troponin assay < 0.050 μg/L, we measured copeptin levels (Brahms) at presentation, and those of two different high-sensitivity assays, Roche High-Sensitive Troponin T (TnThs) and Siemens Troponin I ultra (TnIus), at presentation and 6 h later. Finally, we compared the copeptin and high-sensitivity troponin results and their association to the final diagnosis adjudicated by cardiologists.
