August 13, 2012 (Basel, Switzerland) — Swiss researchers have published more details about what they say is a simple algorithm employing high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin T that can safely rule ...

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 ...

A clinical strategy that adds high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) measurements to the mix of other variables used for cardiovascular risk assessment can help reclassify patients into a more ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays may eventually play a part in an overall strategy for evaluating patients who present with stable chest pain symptoms and possible coronary disease, an ...

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 ...

Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). The ...

Recently granted CE Mark, the novel test delivers improved sensitivity and accuracy for faster and more reliable diagnosis in emergencies. The test helps clinicians quickly identify heart attack and ...

A new study examined the potential value of serial high-sensitivity troponin testing in a cohort of more than 6000 patients with ACS. Absolute increases in hsTn values of ≥7 ng/L were associated with ...

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 ...
