Cardiac troponin testing is central to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. We evaluated a sensitive troponin I assay for the early diagnosis and risk stratification of myocardial infarction.

The structure of the calcium-bound core of human cardiac troponin reveals distinct subdomains connected by flexible linkers, implying that domain reorientation motions within the complex trigger ...

Cardiac troponin provides diagnostic and prognostic information in acute coronary syndromes, but its role in acute decompensated heart failure is unclear. The purpose of our study was to describe the ...

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 ...

December 28, 2011 (Hamburg, Germany) — Among patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), troponin measurement at three hours after admission--measured using a highly sensitive troponin I ...

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 ...

A retrospective review of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVD) for relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) ...

DALLAS, TX — Troponin levels were commonly elevated in patients who were hospitalized for decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and they predicted worse in-hospital ...

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 ...

A new Swedish analysis should serve as a reminder to physicians: elevated cardiac troponin, even in the absence of standard cardiac and noncardiac diseases known to cause a troponin rise, remains an ...

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 ...
