Exercising is healthy, but it also puts strain on the heart. During physical exertion, the protein troponin is released—a biomarker indicative of cardiac damage. New research from Radboudumc involving ...

Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). The ...

It has been known for 50 years that transaminase activity increases in patients with acute myocardial infarction. With the development of creatine kinase (CK), biomarkers of cardiac injury began to ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin thresholds used to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) and injury after cardiac surgery may need to be considerably higher than those currently recommended, a new ...

Cardiac troponin provides diagnostic and prognostic information in acute coronary syndromes, but its role in acute decompensated heart failure is unclear. The purpose of our study was to describe the ...

Among patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes, cardiac troponin T levels have prognostic value. However, there is concern that renal dysfunction may impair the prognostic value, because ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) remains concerned about the potential of biotin, or vitamin B 7, to interfere with the results of laboratory testing, including troponin testing for diagnosis ...

Inconsistency abounds when it comes to the troponin thresholds that centers are using to diagnose MI, a survey of sites participating in the international ISCHEMIA trial reveals. In fact, only 31.6% ...

A study published in the European Heart Journal could help predict the likelihood of dementia up to 25 years in advance. The research found a link between increased levels of cardiac troponin, a ...
