High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is recommended for diagnosing non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). While the guidelines recommend using the 0,1-hour (hr) and 0,3-hr hs-cTnT algorithms, their efficacy has not been clearly established in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We aimed to assess the differential associations between the two algorithms mentioned above with significant coronary stenosis in CKD patients.
