Brief summary
The concentration of troponins in plasma is used for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. Different types of heart-specific troponins can be measured and with different analytical methods. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of a new analytical method for measuring troponin I in diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acute myocardial infarction according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction | Before discharge from hospital, a median of 2 days | Metric: Yes/No |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Days between hospital discharge and death | Within 30 days after hospital discharge | Metric: Days. The secondary outcome measures will be combined into a composite endpoint reflecting the time between hospital admission and the first secondary outcome measure |
| Days between hospital discharge and acute myocardial infarction according to the 4th universal definition of myocardial infarction | Within 30 days after hospital discharge | Metric: Days. |
| Days between hospital discharge and coronary revascularization | Within 30 days after hospital discharge | Metric: Days |
