Troponin I in patients without chest pain.
BACKGROUND Testing for troponin has important clinical value for patients who present with typical symptoms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) such as chest pain (CP). Much less is known about the value of troponin testing for patients who present with other symptoms of ACS (anginal equivalent symptoms). METHODS The utilization and prognostic value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were evaluated a...
متن کاملInvestigating stable chest pain of suspected cardiac origin.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United Kingdom; however, most first presentations with chest pain to primary care have a non-cardiac cause. It is important to establish which patients’ symptoms are caused by obstructive coronary artery disease, so that these patients can be optimally managed to control angina and reduce mortality. To support clinical decision making, t...
متن کاملChest pain and high troponin level without significant respiratory symptoms in young patients with COVID-19
Background: Of all patients infected with COVID-19, 95% have mild symptoms, but 5% may experience severe illness. There are reports of myocardial injury associated with the COVID19 infection in middle aged and old people with baseline cardiac conditions. Acute myocardial injury has been suggested as a marker for disease severity. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between acute coronary synd...
متن کاملRisk stratification in patients with acute chest pain using three high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays.
AIMS Several high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have recently been developed. It is unknown which hs-cTn provides the most accurate prognostic information and to what extent early changes in hs-cTn predict mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective, international multicentre study, cTn was simultaneously measured with three novel [high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin T (hs-cT...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity troponin T concentrations in acute chest pain patients evaluated with cardiac computed tomography.
BACKGROUND For evaluation of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), consensus guidelines recommend use of a cardiac troponin cut point that corresponds to the 99 th percentile of a healthy population. Most conventional troponin methods lack sufficient precision at this low level. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, 377 patients (mean age 53.7 years, ...
