Short-term NSAIDs may still increase myocardial infarction risk after previous heart attacks
Even short-term treatment with most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was associated with increased risk of death and a subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with prior heart attacks, reports a national cohort population study from Denmark.

EKG and high-sensitivity troponin T may rule out myocardial infarction
Among chest-pain patients with no new ischemia on an electrocardiogram (EKG) and troponin T below 0.005 µg/L, only 0.5% had an acute myocardial infarction during hospitalization and none died.

Algorithms for suspected myocardial infarction perform worse in falling troponin pattern
Researchers compared the performance of the European Society of Cardiology 0/1- and 0/3-hour algorithms by whether patients had stable, falling, or rising patterns of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin may be useful for early ruleout of MI
A Scottish study found that length of stay decreased and discharge rates increased when a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I concentration below 5 ng/L at ED presentation was used to rule out myocardial infarction (MI), although the safety of this strategy could not be proven.

Combination of biomarkers appears as accurate as troponin plus clinical signs for identifying type 2 MI
Patients with type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) had higher levels of mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, C-terminal pro-endothelin-1, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, and procalcitonin than patients with type 1 MI.
