Introduction of a lower female hs-cTn threshold

The new female hs-cTn threshold will be baed on current recommendations for each of the assays used (hs-cTn T and I). The hospitals are the unit of randomization. At 5-month intervals, randomly selected hospitals will be advised that they are to transition to the intervention phase. For all men, the standard of care, overall population threshold will be used throughout the entire study.
