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 …

Background: Cardiac depression in severe sepsis and septic shock is characterized by left
ventricular (LV) failure. To date, it is unclear whether clinically unrecognized myocardial cell …

Context Although the clinical use of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy for the treatment of
lipophilic drug toxicity is increasing, the focus of most publications is on outcome in …

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT) have a high sequence homology across phyla and
are sensitive and specific markers of myocardial damage. The purpose of this study was to …

Background: Hemolysis is regularly encountered in clinical specimens and often interferes
with a variety of laboratory test methods. Although not widely recognized, immunoassays …

Objective: To review some of the recently proposed improvements and the corresponding
apparent issues in the field of biochemical markers of cardiac damage. Conclusions: The …

Testing for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and other diseases included in the
spectrum of the so-called “acute coronary syndrome” is rapidly changing from the traditional …

Hemoglobin based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been developed as alternative oxygen
