"High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing and the diagnosis of myocardial infarction"
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays may improve the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, but increase the detection of myocardial injury in patients without acute coronary syndrome. Across two independent Emergency Department cohort of consecutive patients we evaluated how troponin testing would impact on the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
“"The ESC ACVC 2016 conference was fantastic. It was a great honour to be short listed and I was delighted to be awarded the ACVC Research Prize. The session was a perfect platform to convey latest research in cellular biology, translational work and clinical medicine. Overall the sessions were a great educational resource especially the workshops for trainees. Look forward to the next ESC ACCA 2018 in Milan!"

"It was a great honour and privilege for me that our work was chosen as finalist for the ACVC research prize . The session was a fabulous forum for the presentation of innovative research projects. All participants presented their excellent work with great compassion, and I can imagine how hard it was for the jury to select a winner. The discussion following the presentations was interesting and intense. All together a great experience! „
