Cardiac-specific troponin I levels to predict the risk of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
BACKGROUND In patients with acute coronary syndromes, it is desirable to identify a sensitive serum marker that is closely related to the degree of myocardial damage, provides prognostic information, and can be measured rapidly. We studied the prognostic value of cardiac troponin I levels in patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction. METHODS In a multicenter study, blo...
متن کاملCardiac troponin I levels in canine pyometra
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury may contribute to unexpected deaths due to pyometra. To detect myocardial damage, measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is currently the most sensitive and specific method. The aims of the present study were to evaluate presence of myocardial damage in canine pyometra by analysis of cTnI, to explore whether myocardial injury was associated with systemic inflammat...
متن کاملRaised serum cardiac troponin I concentrations predict hospital mortality in intensive care unit patients.
BACKGROUND Recent work suggests that increased plasma concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are common in critically ill patients and are associated with poor outcome. We measured the frequency of increased plasma cTnI concentrations during patients' stay in a mixed medical/surgical intensive care unit (ICU) and compared our findings with hospital mortality. METHODS Basic details, organ...

dear editor: we thank dr asadi amoli for her interest in our article. 1 dr asadi amoli pointed out that specific and sensitive rhabdomyosarcoma (rms) markers should be investigated in our case. 2 we agree with dr asadi amoli ’s opinion and are sorry that the results of pathology examination and myogenin (myf-4) staining studied in a local hospital were not provided in our case report. an ex...
