Dear All,

 

I am being put under pressure to agree to telephone out all high cardiac troponin (cTn) results. Do other labs do this and if so at what level (please include your diagnostic cut off value for ACS if you do and you respond)?

 

If we were to telephone out all raised TnI results i.e. those > 50 ng/L I calculate that it would take over 2 hours which is clearly not feasible, or at least not with existing resources.

 

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

 

With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

 

Mike
