Severe multivessel coronary artery disease and high-sensitive troponin T
INTRODUCTION A key problem in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is non-invasive identification of patients with severe multivessel CAD. Determination of biomarkers that have pro-inflammatory properties (C-reactive protein - hsCRP) and indicate heart muscle ischemia (high-sensitive troponin T - hsTnT) can contribute to the improvement of stratification in this regard. THE AIM OF THE STUDY T...
متن کامل[Acute coronary syndromes and multivessel coronary artery disease].
22 The current issue of REVISTA ESPAÑOLA DE CARDIOLOGÍA includes an article by De la Torre et al1 that describes a retrospective study of 75 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with and without ST segment elevation, who underwent coronary angiography and angioplasty. These patients (Group A) hade the peculiarity that, other than the treated culprit lesion, theyhad at least ...
متن کاملA sensitive cardiac troponin T assay in stable coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND In most patients with stable coronary artery disease, plasma cardiac troponin T levels are below the limit of detection for the conventional assay. The distribution and determinants of very low circulating troponin T levels, as well as their association with cardiovascular events, in such patients are unknown. METHODS We used a new, high-sensitivity assay to determine the concentra...
متن کاملHigh-sensitive cardiac troponin T
Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The recent development of a high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay permits detection of very low levels of cTnT. Using the hs-cTnT assay improves the overall diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected AMI, while a negative result also has a high negative predictive value. The gain ...
متن کاملHybrid revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) referred for standard coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). BACKGROUND Conventional CABG is still the treatment of choice in patients with MVCAD. However, the limitations of standard CABG and the unsatisfactory long-term paten...
