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-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T and Risk of Hypertension.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of hypertension is often preceded by cardiac structural abnormalities. Thus, we assessed whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), a marker of subclinical myocardial damage, can identify individuals at risk for hypertension or left ventricular hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 6516 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants wh...

متن کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin: hype, help, and reality.
Articles in The New England Journal of Medicine get tremendous publicity, some justified and some not. Recently, 2 articles and an editorial (1–3 ) were published about the use of “high-sensitivity” cardiac troponin (cTn). These articles are welcome because they emphasize important concepts for clinicians. Some aspects, however, require clarification. Here we examine these articles and separate...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays: isn't it time for equality?
There are abundant data that women who present with acute coronary events are less frequently diagnosed and have worse outcomes than men (1, 2 ). Part of the problem may be that women are less apt to manifest increased biomarkers when they present and perhaps for that reason, often receive less aggressive guidelinemandated care (3, 4 ). It may be that the reason for this is that women have lowe...
