High sensitivity cardiac troponin testing.
Bösner and colleagues have presented evidence for a simple rule for ruling out coronary artery disease in the primary care setting. It is noteworthy that no laboratory measurements have been included in their model, with reference to their introductory statement that “ ... electrocardiography and cardiac troponin test are of limited value in primary care... ” This point deserves some discussion...
متن کاملHigh-sensitive cardiac troponin T
Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The recent development of a high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay permits detection of very low levels of cTnT. Using the hs-cTnT assay improves the overall diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected AMI, while a negative result also has a high negative predictive value. The gain ...
متن کاملHigh Altitude Physiology: Cardiac and Respiratory Aspects
Hazel Heckman is absorbed by the identification and general splendor of all living things. She has filled her most recent book with delightful descriptions of life as it is represented in its varied forms on Anderson Island in Puget Sound. Although her attention to wildflowers, weeds, trees, insects, birds, and animals seems a bit excessive, one is easily swept away by her enthusiasm for all of...
متن کاملHigh-sensitive cardiac troponin: friend or foe?
Cardiac troponin I and T (cTn) are structural proteins unique to the heart. Detection of cTn in peripheral blood indicates cardiomyocyte necrosis. As acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most important cause of cardiomyocyte necrosis, cTns have become an integral part in the diagnosis of AMI. In this indication, cTns are superior to all other biomarkers indicating cardiomyocyte necrosis suc...
متن کاملSertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats
The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...
