Our recent study about troponin thresholds (https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm10235508) shows the large differences in age- and sex-specific reference ranges. Young women are systematically underdiagnosed. The study by Arslani & Tontsch et al (described before) now suggests that this may lead to increased mortality in young women.

Gender and age-specific adjustment of troponin thresholds, is easy to accomplish, has low costs, and is likely to save lives.
