A modified algorithm using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay safely and rapidly ruled out more patients with myocardial infarction in one US emergency department, with more than ...

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 ...

A simple £5 blood test for the protein troponin could predict a person's risk of heart attacks and strokes with greater accuracy than ever before, research suggests. Troponin is found in heart muscle ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
