Adding high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays on top of conventional risk-prediction methods can potentially improve primary prevention efforts, according to a new meta-analysis. While best known ...

A single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) test with findings below the level of detection, teamed with a nonischemic electrocardiogram (ECG), can identify patients with chest pain in the ...

WASHINGTON, DC — The new high-sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) assay can predict worse postoperative outcomes in the absence of acute coronary syndrome, Washington University researchers reported at ...

Background and Goal: Chest pain is a common but challenging symptom for general practitioners to evaluate, as it can be caused by both serious conditions and more benign issues. This study assessed ...

Incorporating high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) testing into the traditional HEART pathway may improve detection of acute MI in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest ...

Faster answers when time matters: hs troponin detects cardiac injury earlier than traditional assays, enabling quicker diagnosis and reducing time spent in the emergency department Precision that ...

A single troponin level measurement test and an electrocardiogram may be sufficient to rule out the risk of a heart attack in patients complaining of chest pain, according to a study in the Journal of ...

A simple £5 blood test for the protein troponin could predict a person's risk of heart attacks and strokes with greater accuracy than ever before, research suggests. Troponin is found in heart muscle ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old male who apparently suffered a case of food poisoning. I say apparently because no cause was ever discovered for the uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea that lasted ...
