Septic shock, the most severe complication of sepsis, accounts for∼ 10% of all admissions
to intensive care. Our understanding of its complex pathophysiology remains incomplete but …

Background The clinical significance of elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) level in patients in
the intensive care unit (ICU) is uncertain. We reviewed the frequency of cTn elevation and its …

Results. The resulting draft guidelines can be viewed in their entirety at on the NACB World
Wide Web site (http://www. aacc. org/AACC/members/nacb/LMPG/OnlineGuide …

Objective To confirm the association between troponin elevation in patients with sepsis and
mortality. Background Cardiac troponins are sensitive and specific biomarkers of myocardial …

Background: Troponin elevations are common in critically ill patients. Whether they are
predictors of mortality independent of the severity of the underlying disease is unclear …

We proposed that many Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients would be hypothermic in the early
postoperative period and that hypothermia would be associated with increased mortality. We …

Objective: To evaluate the association and prognostic significance of cTnI elevation in
severe TBI. To evaluate the role of beta-blocker (BB) therapy in TBI patients with elevated …

Background It is known that troponin elevations have prognostic importance in critically ill
patients. We examined whether cardiac troponin T elevations are independently associated …

Abstract Background According to the “Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction”,
cardiac troponin (cTn) is defined to be elevated, if the value is above the 99th percentile of a …

Cardiac biomarkers are used to identify cardiac disease in term and preterm infants. This
review discusses the roles of natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins. Natriuretic peptide …
