Physician-level variation in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and the use of angiography among Veterans with elevated troponin
BACKGROUND: Cardiac troponin assays have improved the ability to detect myocardial damage. However, ascertaining whether troponin elevation is due to myocardial infarction (MI) or secondary to another process can be challenging. Our aim is to evaluate provider-level variation in the diagnosis of MI...
