Severe multivessel coronary artery disease and high-sensitive troponin T
INTRODUCTION A key problem in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is non-invasive identification of patients with severe multivessel CAD. Determination of biomarkers that have pro-inflammatory properties (C-reactive protein - hsCRP) and indicate heart muscle ischemia (high-sensitive troponin T - hsTnT) can contribute to the improvement of stratification in this regard. THE AIM OF THE STUDY T...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
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 کاملA sensitive cardiac troponin T assay in stable coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND In most patients with stable coronary artery disease, plasma cardiac troponin T levels are below the limit of detection for the conventional assay. The distribution and determinants of very low circulating troponin T levels, as well as their association with cardiovascular events, in such patients are unknown. METHODS We used a new, high-sensitivity assay to determine the concentra...
متن کاملElevation of high sensitive troponin T after CMR stress testing
Introduction High sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) is a highly specific marker of myocardial injury and one of the keystones in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Although hsTnT is thought to be released by myocardial cell damage, recent studies reported elevated levels after exercise testing and endurance sports. The exact mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed controversially. CMR stres...
