Switching from a conventional to a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I assay in emergency departments is associated with a reduction in both mortality at 1 year and new admissions for myocardial ...

In the 239-subject study reported at ACC, patients wore the device and also had blood drawn to test for troponin-I levels, on top of an ECG and either an echocardiogram or coronary angiogram to ...

"By significantly reducing both equipment and per-test costs, we are bringing lab-quality diagnostics ... Chemiluminescence ...

While additional research is needed to test the possibility that combined use of the two ... Currently, around half of hospitals use troponin T and half troponin I, he added, with the choice most ...

The rate of cardiac injury as determined by cTnI in this study was 19%. In trying to identify any factors that may contribute to an overestimation of cardiac injury, we consider the use of cTnI ...

Professor Clerico believes that “future studies may test the hypothesis that highly sensitive [cardiac troponin] assays may be useful as a screening method in order to identify most (or even all ...

Cardiac enzymes ― also known as cardiac biomarkers ― include myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase. Historically, lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH, was also used but is non-specific.
