Cardiac troponin I levels in canine pyometra
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury may contribute to unexpected deaths due to pyometra. To detect myocardial damage, measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is currently the most sensitive and specific method. The aims of the present study were to evaluate presence of myocardial damage in canine pyometra by analysis of cTnI, to explore whether myocardial injury was associated with systemic inflammat...
متن کاملCardiac-specific troponin I levels to predict the risk of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
BACKGROUND In patients with acute coronary syndromes, it is desirable to identify a sensitive serum marker that is closely related to the degree of myocardial damage, provides prognostic information, and can be measured rapidly. We studied the prognostic value of cardiac troponin I levels in patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. METHODS In a multicenter study, blo...
متن کاملRaised serum cardiac troponin I concentrations predict hospital mortality in intensive care unit patients.
BACKGROUND Recent work suggests that increased plasma concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are common in critically ill patients and are associated with poor outcome. We measured the frequency of increased plasma cTnI concentrations during patients' stay in a mixed medical/surgical intensive care unit (ICU) and compared our findings with hospital mortality. METHODS Basic details, organ...
متن کاملAssociation Between High‐Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I and Cardiac Events in Elderly Women
BACKGROUND Elderly women are at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart failure. High-sensitivity assays allow detection of cardiac troponin I (hsTnI) well below diagnostic cutoffs for acute coronary syndrome. We investigated the association between these levels with future cardiac events in community-based ambulant white women aged over 70 years initially recruited for a 5-year ran...
متن کاملChimeric cardiac troponin I antibodies
most assay manufacturers take additional measures during the assay development. The most frequent procedure involves suppressing the non-specific binding with blocking reagents, which vary from normal mouse IgG to more refined formulations. Whilst in most cases these measures are adequate, they do result in additional costs in terms of both material and labor. The effect of HAMA can also be sup...
