TLDR
BNP accurately predicts mortality in unselected patients with acute chest pain independently of and more accurately than cardiac troponin T, but does not seem to help in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.About:

TL;DR: Early hospital care as discussed by the authors is a special case of early hospital care, which is a type of early medical care that requires early evaluation and management, and early admission evaluation of patients.

D. Muthu,T. Elavazhagan +1 more
TL;DR: To measure BNP levels in Patients with congestive heart disease, to use the BNP in the heart failure treatment and Routine use of BNP assays may help to more rapidly identify patients with heart failure, thereby saving money on unnecessary echocardiograms.

Comparing the areas under two or more correlated receiver operating characteristic curves: a nonparametric approach.
TL;DR: A nonparametric approach to the analysis of areas under correlated ROC curves is presented, by using the theory on generalized U-statistics to generate an estimated covariance matrix.

Universal definition of myocardial infarction
TL;DR: The past history, and likely future of this important topic has been/will remain more “evolution” than “big-bang”, and the current redefinition was flawed at inception owing to a fundamental problem with the troponin assays available at that time.

TL;DR: Information on myocardial infarction attack rates can provide useful data regarding the burden of coronary artery disease within and across populations, especially if standardized data are collected in a manner that demonstrates the distinction between incident and recurrent events.
