Among patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes, cardiac troponin T levels have prognostic value. However, there is concern that renal dysfunction may impair the prognostic value, because ...

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA — Cardiac troponin levels that are high but still within the "normal" range appear to be a marker for increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially fatal CVD events, ...

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 ...

Patients who have myocardial infarction (MI) ruled out in the emergency department but still have intermediate high-sensitivity cardiac troponin concentrations are three times more likely to have ...

A newly published document provides practical advice on the use of the popular and potent troponin tests. The Expert Consensus Document on Practical Clinical Considerations in the Interpretation of ...

Patients with chest pain who have MI and other potential acute causes of troponin elevation ruled out remain at a higher risk for death and cardiovascular outcomes if they have any troponin T detected ...

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 ...

Even when cardiac troponin levels detected by high-sensitivity assays are within the normal range, elevations are associated with incident cardiovascular events in people without overt disease, a meta ...

Cardiac troponins are a group of markers used to predict the risk of heart disease. However, it is not well understood how controlling blood pressure affects levels of troponin I and whether the ...

Regular exercise is healthy and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, it appears that prolonged and/or intensive exercise can lead to an increase in cardiac biomarkers in the blood ...
