Using age-specific thresholds for troponin measurement would more accurately diagnose myocardial injury when assessing patients for suspected myocardial infarction (MI), a new study suggests. The ...
A high level of troponin - a protein normally used to exclude the possibility of a heart attack in patients with chest pain - may signal a heightened risk of death from any cause within the next ...
BEDFORD PARK, AUSTRALIA — Use of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) assays, compared with standard TnT assays, may result in only modest improvement in evaluating emergency-department patients with ...
The three high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays currently available in the United States often disagree when it comes to standard analytical benchmarks, which could have an impact on how ...
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 ...
For patients with suspected ACS and no clear signs of ischemia on ECG, use of a 0/1-hour high-sensitivity troponin T testing protocol in which all test results were available to treating physicians ...
The blood test used to diagnose a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) in patients admitted to hospital can be misleading, warn researchers in a new study. The blood test used to diagnose a ...
