Negative Predictive Value of Cardiac Troponin for Predicting Adverse Cardiac Events Following Blunt Chest Trauma

Cardiac-specific troponins (Tns) are sensitive and specific markers of myocardial injury that have been shown to be predictive of outcomes in many cardiac and noncardiac conditions. We sought to determine whether normal cardiac Tn concentrations obtained during the first 24 hours following blunt chest trauma would predict good cardiac outcomes….
