High-sensitivity cardiac troponin thresholds used to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) and injury after cardiac surgery may need to be considerably higher than those currently recommended, a new ...
Cardiac troponin I and T assays are indeed highly sensitive for the detection of myocardial injury. Approximately 30% of patients previously diagnosed with unstable angina with no increase in creatine ...
To the Editor: Devereaux et al. (March 3 issue) 1 have made an important contribution to the characterization of appropriate thresholds for defining myocardial damage with the use of high-sensitivity ...
Exercising is healthy, but it also puts strain on the heart. During physical exertion, the protein troponin is released—a biomarker indicative of cardiac damage. New research from Radboudumc involving ...
An experimental wrist-worn device was found to predict troponin-I and obstructed arteries with 90% accuracy in five minutes, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology ...
Hypertension affects nearly half the United States population. Individuals with hypertension are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease if blood pressure is not controlled. Identifying ...
Background and Goal: Chest pain is a common but challenging symptom for general practitioners to evaluate, as it can be caused by both serious conditions and more benign issues. This study assessed ...
About 20% of adults who have major non-cardiac surgery had elevated troponin levels, yet nearly all of them did not have symptoms of injury, according to a new scientific statement from the American ...
