Background: Some recent studies have shown that troponin may have a Prognostic value in patients with ischemic stroke. This study seeks to to evaluate the prognostic value of troponin on 3 months mortality and recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. Method: In this study 63 patients with ischemic stroke were evaluated. Embolic and lacunar stroke were excl...

objective(s):biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. however, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...

purpose: myocardial infarction is among the most common diagnoses in patients admitted   to hospitals in western countries, and its rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance. this study   was conducted to determine the most sensitive double-marker cardiac isoenzyme of creatinine   kinase, troponin i, and myoglobin for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.   materials and methods: this was an ob...

 Background: Myocardial infarction is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Platelet count and the mean platelet volume (MPV), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size which correlates with platelet activation, might associate with troponin in acute chest pain. Methods: We analyzed MPV of 851 patients who were admitted to Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital with ac...

inflammatory basis in pathopoiesis of coronary artery disease (cad) have been demonstrated in recent decades. elevated c-reactive protein (crp) and leukocytosis were associated with an elevated risk   for acute coronary syndrome (acs). to evaluate the relationship between quantitative crp and cardiac troponin i in conjunction with white blood cell (wbc) count and 30 days outcomes and treatment ...

background: l-carnitine has been demonstrated to confer cardiac protection against ischemia reperfusion injury in animals. this study evaluates the effects of l-carnitine administration on cardiac biomarkers after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery. methods: one hundred thirty-four patients undergoing elective cabg surgery, without a history of myocardial ischemia or previous l-carniti...

Skeletal-muscle troponin I and troponin T were found to be rapidly phosphorylated by cardiac phospholipid-sensitive Ca2+-dependent protein kinase, with Km values of 6.66 and 0.13 microM respectively. Stoichiometric phosphorylation of skeletal troponin I (endogenous phosphate content 0.7 mol/mol) indicated that the Ca2+-dependent enzyme and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase incorporated 0.9 an...
