The detection of myocardial ischaemia earlier or in the absence of myocardial infarction is challenging and has the potential to improve the process of triage of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Still, cardiac troponins represent the gold standard for the biochemical diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, for the classification and risk stratification of ACS, and for the objective guidance of anti-ischaemic therapies.1 New biomarkers are frequently pushed forward . . .
