Introduction: Since December 2019, the humanity is constantly under affection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite global dissemination, neither treatment or specific predictive factors have been found strictly defined yet. Aim: Aim this study was to assess long-term (1 year) value high-sensitive Troponin T (hsTnT) in COVID-19 affected, hospitalised patients....

BACKGROUND Very low levels of cardiac troponin T are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death in patients with stable chronic coronary disease. Whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in individuals without cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been well studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Using 2 complementary study desi...

Two patients were investigated for unexplained increases in troponin T. In the first patient, who had rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, troponin T reached a peak value of 13.50 micrograms/L (67.5-fold the upper reference limit). The second patient had chronic renal failure and the troponin T peak value was 2.85 micrograms/L (14.3-fold the upper reference limit). Clinical investigations in...

1. The troponin complex from skeletal muscle contains approximately 1 mol of phosphate/80000g of complex, covalently bound to the troponin T component. 2. On prolonged incubation of the troponin complex or troponin T with phosphorylase kinase the phosphate content of troponin T was increased to approx. 3mol/mol. 3. On prolonged incubation of troponin I with phosphorylase kinase up to 1.6mol of ...

Hyperhomocysteinemia and other major cardiovascular risk factors are associated with increased vascular oxidative stress. To access the effects preoperative plasma homocysteine levels and other atherosclerotic risk factors on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury after conventional coronary artery bypass, 213 patients with normal renal function were enrolled prospectively. Cardiac troponin T w...
