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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

With high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays, the upper reference limits (URLs) used to pinpoint damage to the heart differ depending not only on the sex of the individual being tested but also their ...

Lead author P.J. Devereaux, MD (Population Health Research Institute, Hamilton, Canada), told TCTMD that the guidelines regarding troponin thresholds after surgery were influenced by use of creatine ...

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 ...

Prehospital measurement of the biomarker copeptin may allow quicker rule-out of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with chest pain, a new study suggests. The AROMI study was presented at the ...

We undertook an international prospective cohort study involving patients 18 years of age or older who underwent cardiac surgery. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I measurements (upper reference ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to detect blocked coronary arteries based on electrocardiogram (ECG) readings performed better than expert clinicians and was on par with troponin T ...

KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prevencio, Inc. today announces the presentation of multinational patient data demonstrating its HART CADhs blood test is significantly more accurate than high ...
