background: cardiovascular system is a very importantorgan that plays a vital role in tissue function. in farm animals,the growth and high milk production depends on function ofcardiovascular system. objectives: cardiovascular health inhigh and low-yielding dairy cows was investigated. methods:fifty 4-year-old high- yielding holstein dairy cows and fifty 4-year-old low- yielding holstein dairy ...

background: several changes in serum biochemical factors occur in acute myocardial infarction (ami). recently alterations in serum levels of homocysteine (hcy), sialic acid (sa) and high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) has been attended as risk factors and index for prediction. this study was aimed to show the alterations in these factors and their relationships in ami. methods: thirty fo...

Objective: Acute chest pain is an important and frequently occurring symptom in patients. Chest pain is often a sign of ischemic heart disease. Chest pain due to suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is responsible for a large and ijncreasing number of hospital attendances and admissions. Current practice for suspected ACS involves troponin testing 10–12 hours after symptom o...

Background: It is assumed giving oxygen to patients with acute myocardial infraction may increase the oxygenation of the ischemic tissue; however, the usefulness of oxygen in these patients has become a challenging topic. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the effect of oxygen inhalation on cardiac biomarkers in patients with acute myocardial infarction.    Methods: This randomized cli...

Background Cardiac biomarkers have become increasingly important in cardiovascular disease. With the ability to detect focal and diffuse myocardial fibrosis, CMR is an important imaging biomarker. Diffuse myocardial fibrosis, reflected by increased extracellular volume (ECV), may underlie increased cardiovascular risk. ECV could provide a novel tool to evaluate the association myocardial-specif...

Myocardial infarction is diagnosed when blood levels of biomarkers are increased in the clinical setting of acute myocardial ischemia. Among the biomarkers, troponin I is the preferred biomarker indicative of myocardial necrosis. It is tissue specific for the heart. Myocardial infarction is rarely reported following seizure. We report a case of elevated troponin I in a patient after an episode ...

Objectives Cardiac biomarkers have been studied in sepsis in the past and various mechanisms for their rise have been elucidated. However their association with severity of sepsis, mortality and myocardial dysfunction warrants further studies. We have studied three different cardiac biomarkers- troponin T (trop T), creatine phosphokinase MB isoform (CPK MB) and NT pro brain natriuretic peptide ...
