N2 - BACKGROUND: The early triage of patients toward rule-out and rule-in of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is challenging. Therefore, we aimed to develop a 2-h algorithm that uses high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI).METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 1435 (derivation cohort) and 1194 (external validation cohort) patients presenting with suspected AMI to the emergency department. The final diagnosis was adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists. hs-cTnI was measured at presentation and after 2 h in a blinded fashion. We derived and validated a diagnostic algorithm incorporating hs-cTnI values at presentation and absolute changes within the first 2 h.RESULTS: AMI was the final diagnosis in 17% of patients in the derivation and 13% in the validation cohort. The 2-h algorithm developed in the derivation cohort classified 56% of patients as rule-out, 17% as rule-in, and 27% as observation. Resulting diagnostic sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) were 99.2% and 99.8% for rule-out; specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) were 95.2% and 75.8% for rule-in. Applying the 2-h algorithm in the external validation cohort, 60% of patients were classified as rule-out, 13% as rule-in, and 27% as observation. Diagnostic sensitivity and NPV were 98.7% and 99.7% for rule-out; specificity and PPV were 97.4% and 82.2% for rule-in. Thirty-day survival was 100% for rule-out patients in both cohorts.CONCLUSIONS: A simple algorithm incorporating hs-cTnI baseline values and absolute 2-h changes allowed a triage toward safe rule-out or accurate rule-in of AMI in the majority of patients.
