Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays permit use of lower thresholds for the
diagnosis of myocardial infarction, but whether this improves clinical outcomes is unknown …

Only recently have we begun to appreciate the importance and complexity of the non-coding
genome, owing in some part to truly significant advances in genomic technology such as …

The definition of a high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin (cTn) assay describes the ability to
quantify a cardiac biomarker level in at least 50% of healthy individuals. This advance in …

BACKGROUND Few data compare cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in
a general population. We sought to evaluate the distribution and association between cTnT …

Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays can help to identify patients who are at
low risk of myocardial infarction in the emergency department. We aimed to determine …

Background: Combining 2 signals of cardiomyocyte injury, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T
(cTnT), might overcome some individual pathophysiological and analytical limitations and …

Importance Emergency department (ED) investigations of patients with suspected acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) are time consuming, partly because of the turnaround time of …

Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have increased
risk of cardiovascular events. Objectives: This study evaluated the association between high …

BACKGROUND Low concentrations of cardiac troponin (cTn) have been recommended for
rapid rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We examined the Beckman Coulter …

BACKGROUND: Testing for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) may assist triage and
clinical decision-making in patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms …
