Myocardial dysfunction, which is characterized by transient biventricular impairment of
intrinsic myocardial contractility, is a common complication in patients with sepsis. Left …

Abstract Background Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cTnT are the established biomarkers of
cardiomyocyte damage and the recommended biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute …

Background Evaluation of patients with acute chest pain in emergency rooms is time-
consuming and expensive, and it often results in uncertain diagnoses. We prospectively …

Background—Myocyte necrosis as a result of elective percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) occurs in approximately one third of cases and is associated with subsequent …

Background: Cardiac troponins (cTns) are the cornerstone of diagnosing acute myocardial
infarction. There is limited knowledge on the duration of ischemia necessary to induce a …

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 …

Objectives: We sought to determine the best cardiac biomarker to predict infarct size, left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and clinical outcome in patients undergoing primary …

Background: Spurious increases in serum troponins, especially troponin T, have been
reported in patients with and without acute myocardial syndromes. Methods: We studied 78 …

Cardiac troponins are important biochemical markers for defining the presence of
myocardial injury. However, limitations in troponin testing exist, including the relatively late …

Background The frequency and prognostic influence of myocardial injury in patients with
blunt chest trauma is controversial. We investigated the value of cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) …
