To the Editor,
Goorden et al aim to establish the optimal threshold to rule out myocardial infarction using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I assay. They report that a cardiac troponin I concentration <10 ng/L or a change of <20 ng/L on serial testing had a negative predictive value for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction of 99.8% and 98.7% respectively [1]. Whilst we agree there are better appro...
