Researchers identified 8 ng/L as the optimal cutoff. Serial high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) measurements may help predict death from any cause in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint ...

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND — A prospective cohort study covering about 6300 patients has identified a particular high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin-I assay's optimal level for predicting which patients ...

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 ...

Among patients admitted to New York hospitals or emergency departments with COVID-19, myocardial injury, whether acute or chronic, is associated with worse survival at 6 months, new data show. The ...

Cardiac troponin concentrations follow a different arc across the years in women versus men, according to a new study tracking how biomarker values shifted by sex over 15 years. Unlike the ...

September 28, 2011 (Rochester, Minnesota) — Researchers in the US have demonstrated that there are proteins in diseased skeletal muscle that can cause increases in circulating troponin T levels, ...

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 ...

Chest pain and suspected myocardial infarction were the cause of about 5% of all emergency hospital admissions in 2017 to 2018. However, myocardial infarction will have occurred in only about 20% of ...

Unrecognized or silent perioperative myocardial ischemia is common in patients who undergo high-risk surgery, including cystectomy, and could predict cardiac morbidity and mortality in postoperative ...

About 20% of adults who have major non-cardiac surgery had elevated troponin levels, yet nearly all of them did not have symptoms of injury, according to a new scientific statement from the American ...
