Circulation, Ahead of Print. Current consensus age- and BMI-stratified rule-in thresholds demonstrated only 65% specificity (95% CI, 57%72%). With a BMI 35 kg/m2, lower rule-in thresholds (220 pg/mL) provided good specificity (88% [95% CI, 73%100%]; 93% [95% CI, 81%100%] and 100% in validation cohorts).
