High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponins and ACS – the Malaysian Experience

28 March 2023

KEY TAKEAWAYS

hs-cTn assays are currently recommended in Malaysia to triage patients of suspected ACS.
Although there are strong recommendations, the adoption of hs-cTn assays are slow, due to logistic reasons.
The Malaysian consensus recognizes the importance of high-sensitivity troponin for the triage of chest pain patients in the emergency setting specifically in a resource limited hospital.

Prof Sazzli Kasim shares his experience with hs-cTn for the triage of chest pain patients suspected with NSTEMI in Malaysia.
