Optimal Cutoff Values and Utility of High-Sensitivity Troponin T and NT-proBNP for the Risk Stratification of Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Guidelines recommend using high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) to risk stratify hemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, there are no evidence-based cutoff values defined for this clinical application.
