Letter in response to 'High-sensitivity troponin T for early rule-out of myocardial infarction in recent onset chest pain'.
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a high-sensitivity troponin assay, shown to improve early detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), permits accelerated rule-in/rule-out of AMI. METHODS Patients who presented to the emergency department within 4 h of the onset of chest pain suggestive of acute coronary syndrome were prospectively recruited from November 2007 to April 2010. Blood samples...
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 کاملIdentification of acute myocardial infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation and chest pain with a contemporary sensitive troponin I assay
BACKGROUND The introduction of modern troponin assays has facilitated diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction due to improved sensitivity with corresponding loss of specificity. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with elevated levels of troponin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of troponin I in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome and chro...
متن کاملRate of acute myocardial infarction in patients with troponin-positive chest pain and unobstructed coronary arteries
Background Many patients with troponin-positive chest pain are initially diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but are later found to have nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) by x-ray angiography. CMR may be useful in this diagnostically challenging cohort; the presence and/or pattern of myocardial necrosis identified by CMR may allow differentiation between diverse etiolog...
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 ...
