Increased Plasma Cardiac Troponin I in Live-Stranded Cetaceans: Correlation with Pathological Findings of Acute Cardiac Injury

Persistent increase of cardiac troponin I in plasma without evidence of cardiac injury.

A 69-year-old man with diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prior ischemic strokes presented to the emergency department with complaints of balance difficulties and inability to stand unassisted of 2 weeks’ duration. The patient’s home medication regimen included atenolol, lisinopril, amlodipine, metformin, and glipizide. He is a retired chef and a former smoker (20 pack-y...

Greater frequency of increased cardiac troponin T than increased cardiac troponin I in patients with chronic renal failure.

Risk stratification with cardiac troponin I in acute coronary syndromes.

Recent years have shown a rapidly growing interest among clinical chemists, clinical cardiologists and emergency physicians in the use of new biochemical markers for risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It was demonstrated across a wide range of ACS patient populations (including low-, intermediate-, and high-risk) that evidence of myocardial injury upon presentat...

Sertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats

The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...

Correlations among homocysteine, cardiac troponin I and cardiac enzymes in different ages of clinically healthy male dromedary camels

BACKGROUND: Information regarding serum biochemicalprofile can reflect cardiovascular performance in animals.Although studies have evaluated the inter-relationship amongcardiovascular biomarkers in animals and human beings, thereare no reports of such a probable relationship in camelids.OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to provide dataon the correlations among cardiovascular biomarke...
