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.

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 کاملTroponin I in patients without chest pain.
BACKGROUND Testing for troponin has important clinical value for patients who present with typical symptoms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) such as chest pain (CP). Much less is known about the value of troponin testing for patients who present with other symptoms of ACS (anginal equivalent symptoms). METHODS The utilization and prognostic value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were evaluated a...
متن کاملVariation of cardiac troponin I and T measured with sensitive assays in emergency department patients with noncardiac chest pain.
BACKGROUND New-generation high-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin have lower detection limits and less imprecision than earlier assays. Reference 99th-percentile cutoff values for these new assays are also lower, leading to higher frequencies of positive test results. When cardiac troponin concentrations are minimally increased, serial testing allows discrimination of myocardial infarction...
