High Sensitive Cardiac Troponin T Levels in Newly Diagnosed Hypertensive Patients with Different Left Ventricle Geometry

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 ...

Cardiac troponin T levels in patients with renal failure.

Elevated cardiac troponin T predicts adverse outcomes in hypertensive patients.

Ongoing myocardial damage detected as elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) indicates increased risk for future cardiac events in patients with chronic heart failure. Whether elevated cTnT is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with hypertension (HT) without left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is unknown.We measured cTnT levels in 176 patients with essential HT without LV sys...

Kinetics of high sensitive troponin T (HSTNT) after cardiac surgery

Introduction Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) in the setting of cardiac surgery represent a considerable risk to patients with significant mortality and morbidity. The role of highly sensitive cardiac troponin T (hsTnT) has not been evaluated in the setting of cardiac surgery, instead Cardiac Troponin T (TnT) and Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB) are commonly used for the diagnosis of PMI [1].

Cardiac troponin T as a predictor of cardiac death in patients with left ventricular dysfunction

BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) has been reported to be associated with cardiac mortality. In the present study, we evaluated the role of routine assessment of cTnT as a predictor of future cardiac death in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. METHODS Patients who were eligible for prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) were included from cardiac catheteriz...
