Adding high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays on top of conventional risk-prediction methods can potentially improve primary prevention efforts, according to a new meta-analysis. While best known ...

WASHINGTON, DC — The new high-sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) assay can predict worse postoperative outcomes in the absence of acute coronary syndrome, Washington University researchers reported at ...

A single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) test with findings below the level of detection, teamed with a nonischemic electrocardiogram (ECG), can identify patients with chest pain in the ...

BOSTON (Reuters) - New ultra-sensitive blood tests can rapidly detect when heart muscle is dying from a heart attack, even from the moment the patient arrives in the emergency room, according to two ...

This study found that switching from a conventional troponin assay to a high-sensitivity troponin assay resulted in changes to diagnosis patterns and stress testing trends. Objectives: ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Elevated serum cardiac troponin I level can potentially be used as a stand-alone marker to predict adverse ...

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 ...

Despite modern imaging and genetic testing, diagnosing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains challenging, particularly when distinguishing it from clinically similar neurodegenerative disorders.

Relying on the sex-specific 99th percentile upper reference limit of cardiac troponin may incorrectly suggest myocardial infarction (MI) in older adults with suspected heart attacks, though no ...

In the current study, the investigators retrospectively extracted data from 295 hospitalized participants in an earlier randomized placebo-controlled trial of adjunctive dexamethasone treatment for ...
