CRT-200.75 Troponin Elevation Post PCI: Prognostic or Without Purpose?

Baseline troponin level: key to understanding the importance of post-PCI troponin elevations.

AIMS The adverse prognostic significance of biomarker elevations after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is well established. However, often baseline troponin values are not included in the analysis or sensitive criteria are not employed. Accordingly, we assessed the timing and magnitude of post-PCI troponin T (cTnT) levels and their relationships to outcomes in patients with and without...

Troponin elevation in patients without acute coronary syndrome.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Troponins are specific biomarkers of myocardial injury and are implicated in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome. Our purpose was to determine the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with troponin elevation who are not diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS A total of 1032 patients with an emergency room trop...

Troponin T elevation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis without cardiac damage.

CRT-D or CRT-P in CRT-indicated patients?

HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...

[Prognostic value of troponin T in hospitalized patients with angina or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction].

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac troponins are highly specific and sensitive for detecting minimal myocardial damage. The aim of our study was to determine the prognostic value of troponin T levels in patients hospitalized for suspected angina or myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation. PATIENTS AND METHOD We recorded the frequency of death, acute myocardial infarction, heart fa...
