High-sensitivity troponin T concentrations in acute chest pain patients evaluated with cardiac computed tomography.
BACKGROUND For evaluation of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), consensus guidelines recommend use of a cardiac troponin cut point that corresponds to the 99 th percentile of a healthy population. Most conventional troponin methods lack sufficient precision at this low level. METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study, 377 patients (mean age 53.7 years, ...

Background—For evaluation of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), consensus guidelines recommend use of a cardiac troponin cut point that corresponds to the 99th percentile of a healthy population. Most conventional troponin methods lack sufficient precision at this low level. Methods and Results—In a cross-sectional study, 377 patients (mean age 53.7 years, 64....
متن کاملChest pain and high troponin level without significant respiratory symptoms in young patients with COVID-19
Background: Of all patients infected with COVID-19, 95% have mild symptoms, but 5% may experience severe illness. There are reports of myocardial injury associated with the COVID19 infection in middle aged and old people with baseline cardiac conditions. Acute myocardial injury has been suggested as a marker for disease severity. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between acute coronary synd...
متن کاملHigh sensitive troponin T in individuals with chest pain of presumed ischemic origin.
This study was aimed at assessing the bias of high sensitive cardiac troponin T vs. the standard cardiac troponin T in a selected population with chest pain of presumed cardiac origin. Serum cTnT was determined in 132 patients and in 106 apparently healthy controls by both assays. The hs-cTnT outperformed the standard generation assay by: i) allowing a larger and earlier diagnosis of AMI (74.2 ...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity versus conventional troponin for management and prognosis assessment of patients with acute chest pain.
OBJECTIVES High-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) is substituting conventional cTn for evaluation of chest pain. Our aim was to assess the impact on patient management and outcome. METHODS A total of 1372 consecutive patients presenting at the emergency department with non-ST-elevation acute chest pain were divided into two periods according to the cTn assay used, conventional (n=699, March 2008 ...
