According to the researchers, the new test provided more accurate results than the previous version, and the patients who benefited most had heart muscle damage from conditions such as valve problems and arrhythmias. For this, the team of researchers examined the test results of almost 50,000 people who attended 10 accident and emergency situations in Scotland. These individuals reportedly had heart attacks between 2013 and 2016. The researchers used the Loach Data service and followed all patients for five years. Using the test, the team found that out of 10,000 More people had elevated levels of troponin, a sign of heart injury.
