Cardiac troponins are sensitive and specific markers of myocardial injury. The troponin
concentration can be thought of as a quantitative measure of the degree of injury sustained …

Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common cardiac disease in large

Background Myocardial injury can be detected by cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration,
which appears to be a predictor of short‐term death in critically ill patients. It is unknown if …

Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is commonly associated with myxomatous mitral
