Summary:.  Arenja N, Reichlin T, Drexler B, Oshima S, Denhaerynck K, Haaf P, Potocki M, Breidthardt T, Noveanu M, Stelzig C, Heinisch C, Twerenbold R, Reiter M, Socrates T, Mueller C (University Hospital, Basel). Sensitive cardiac troponin in the diagnosis and risk stratification of acute heart failure. J Intern Med 2012; 271: 598–607. Background.  The aim of our study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of a sensitive cardiac troponin I (s‐cTnI) assay in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods.  Sensitive cardiac troponin I was measured in 667 consecutive patients at presentation to the emergency department with acute dyspnoea. Three s‐cTnI strata were predefined: below the limit of detection (
