High-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 کاملCardiac troponin T predicts long-term outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma troponin T (cTnT), but not troponin I (cTnI), is frequently observed in end-stage renal failure patients. Although generally considered spurious, we previously reported an associated increased mortality at 12 months. METHODS We studied long-term outcomes in 244 patients on chronic hemodialysis for up to 34 months, correlating the outcomes to plasma cTnT in routine ...
متن کاملTroponin T release in hemodialysis patients.
To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article by Diris et al1 investigating the reason for elevated serum concentrations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in hemodialysis patients. The authors found variable amounts of different cTnT fragments in the blood of hemodialysis patients, ranging in size from 8 to 25 kDa. In contrast, intact cTnT (39 kDa) was found only in the cTnT-spiked, pooled...
متن کاملElevation of high sensitive troponin T after CMR stress testing
Introduction High sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) is a highly specific marker of myocardial injury and one of the keystones in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Although hsTnT is thought to be released by myocardial cell damage, recent studies reported elevated levels after exercise testing and endurance sports. The exact mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed controversially. CMR stres...
متن کاملSevere 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...
