Description
Summary:[...]the ACEP Clinical Policy expands the second Sgarbossa criteria and suggests applicability when concordant ST depression is present in any lead, and expands the third Sgarbossa criteria and suggests applicability when discordant ST-segment deviation greater than 5 mm is present, regardless of ST elevation or depression. [...]there is greater machine-to-machine variability in CK-MB values. * Proper use of TN makes this test at least as useful, if not more, compared to CK-MB for detecting reinfarction and in evaluating patients post-PCI and post-CABG. * Overall, CK-MB appears to increase costs without providing any additional diagnostic or prognostic benefit.
