The cardiac troponins form part of the regulatory mechanism for muscle contraction. Specific
cardiac isoforms of cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I exist and commercially …

The acute coronary syndromes represent a continuum of myocardial ischemia ranging from
angina, reversible tissue injury→ unstable angina, frequently associated with minor …

Background: We assessed whether plasma troponin I measured by a high-sensitivity assay
(hs-TnI) is associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in a …

Importance Lack of objective biomarkers for brain damage hampers acute diagnosis and
clinical decision making about return to play after sports-related concussion. Objectives To …

Background: In patients suffering from end-stage renal failure, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and
I (cTnI) may be increased in serum without other signs of acute myocardial damage …

This new edition of Basic Skills in Interpreting Laboratory Data, 4th Edition is acase-based
learning tool that will enhance your skills in clinical lab test interpretation. It provides …

Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) are highly specific and sensitive biomarkers of
myocardial cell damage and are now accepted as the 'gold standard'diagnostic test for acute …

Aims: This study was performed to determine the most sensitive biochemical marker for the
detection of cardiac myocyte damage potentially sustained during percutaneous coronary …

Use of immunoassays and other ligand-binding assays in clinical diagnosis has increased
dramatically during the last several years. Despite impressive technical advances,“mass …

Objective: To assess the role of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in predicting outcome after
