Hugo Katus' comment comes after the publication of two studies that assessed cardiac troponin T (cTnT) levels in the general ... additional investigation if abnormal, particularly with cardiac ...

Elevated levels of cardiac troponin are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS), but might not ...

People with abnormal troponin levels as measured by the device were about four times as likely to have an obstructed artery compared to people with a negative result using the sensor, said Sengupta.

Measuring troponin levels alongside cholesterol significantly boosts the accuracy of cardiovascular risk prediction, a UK-funded study has found. The researchers modelled risk using conventional ...

They discovered that people with higher levels of troponin in their blood are at greater risk of a heart attack or stroke within 10 years. For the study, published in the Journal of the American ...

Overall diagnostic accuracy was higher than clinicians (0.74 and 0.70), and detection of type 1 heart attack was on par with contemporary high-sensitivity troponin T (0.87), which had higher ...
