BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins I (cTnI) and T (cTnT) have received international endorsement
as the standard biomarkers for detection of myocardial injury, for risk stratification in …

Background Suspected acute coronary syndrome is the commonest reason for emergency
admission to hospital and is a large burden on health-care resources. Strategies to identify …

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis of myocardial infarction using a high sensitivity troponin
I assay and sex specific diagnostic thresholds in men and women with suspected acute …

Elucidation of the physiologically distinct subunits of troponin in 1973 greatly facilitated our
understanding of cardiac contraction. Although troponins are expressed in both skeletal and …

Background— Ischemia modified albumin (IMA; Ischemia Technologies, Inc) blood levels
rise in patients who develop ischemia during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is …

The cardiac troponins form part of the regulatory mechanism for muscle contraction. Specific
cardiac isoforms of cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I exist and commercially …

Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays permit use of lower thresholds for the
diagnosis of myocardial infarction, but whether this improves clinical outcomes is unknown. …

PURPOSE: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a highly specific marker of myocardial damage and
used clinically in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Release of cTnT has …

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the effect of patient selection on the 99th reference
percentile of 2 sensitive and 1 high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin assays in a well-defined …

BACKGROUND: Because of possible adverse outcomes, many of the >6 million annual
emergency department (ED) patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergo …
