Screening blood for elevated troponin I levels could help identify whether unstable angina sufferers, who are in a critical phase of coronary heart disease, are at higher risk of death or heart attack, according to a 2,240-patient German study. The researchers presented their findings at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Barcelona last week.
