Usefulness of Positive Troponin-T and Negative Creatine Kinase Levels in Identifying High-Risk Patients With Unstable Angina Pectoris

Troponin-T was measured in patients with chest pain and negative creatine phosphokinase-MB isoenzymes. Patients with elevated troponin-T had a significantly greater risk of cardiac events over the next 6 months than patients with normal troponin-T.
