In Brighton we tried the rapid Troponin kits when firts in the market and
were not very impressed. However we have revisited and we are to start a
similar protocol to that used at St Georges Tooting.
1.- Chest pain with unequivocal ECG treat and admit.
2.- Chest pain and unstable angina typical. Treat and admit.
3.- Chest pain with normal looking ECG. Clinical suggestion of cardiac
origen Troponin T if raise treat and admit if not wait for 6 hours repeat
if raised treat and admit if not discharged.
