Serum cardiac troponin I concentration in retired racing greyhounds.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a polypeptide found specifically in cardiac muscle tissue that has been used as a diagnostic and prognostic indicator of cardiomyopathy. Increases in cTnI are associated with myocardial pathologic processes. However, high serum cTnI concentrations have been observed in normal Greyhounds. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that Greyhounds have cTnI concentration...
متن کاملSerum Cardiac Troponin I Concentrations in Dogs with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury can be detected by cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration, which appears to be a predictor of short-term death in critically ill patients. It is unknown if the best prognostic indicator of short-term survival is cTnI measurement at admission or at later time points. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Measuring cTnI with a high-sensitivity (HS) test at different time points af...
متن کاملDegradation of cardiac troponin I in serum complicates comparisons of cardiac troponin I assays.
BACKGROUND Up to a 20-fold variation in serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration may be observed for a given patient sample with different analytical methods. Because more limited variation is seen for control materials and for purified cTnI, we explored the possibility that cTnI was present in altered forms in serum. METHODS We used four recombinantly engineered cTnI fragments to study ...
متن کاملPlasma Cardiac Troponin I Concentration and Cardiac Death in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND The use of cardiac biomarkers to assist in the diagnosis of occult and symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in cats has been established. There is limited data describing their prognostic utility in cats with HCM. HYPOTHESIS Circulating concentrations of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) predict cardiac death in cats with HCM. ...
متن کاملSerum concentrations of cardiac troponin I and cardiac troponin T in dogs with class IV congestive heart failure due to mitral valve disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of circulating detectable serum levels of cardiac troponin I (CTnI) and circulating detectable serum levels of cardiac troponin T (CTnT) in dogs with class IV congestive heart failure (CHF) due to mitral valve disease (MVD) at admission. An additional study aim was to determine if detectable troponin levels correlated with the...
