Angiographic prevalence of occlusion myocardial infarction and the limited value of serial troponin in patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
An estimated 25%–34% of patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are diagnosed with an occluded culprit artery during catheterization. Whether early serial troponin kinetics discriminate angiographically defined occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) in catheterized patients with NST...
