چکیده
BACKGROUND Spurious increases in serum troponins, especially troponin T, have been reported in patients with and without acute myocardial syndromes. METHODS We studied 78 autopsied patients without clinical myocardial infarction (MI) and correlated histologic cardiac findings with antemortem serum creatine kinase (CK), its MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT). RESULTS There was no significant myocardial pathology in 15 patients. Cardiac pathologies were in five groups: scarring from previous MI or patchy ventricular fibrosis (n = 9), recent MI (n = 27), healing MI (n = 7), degenerative myocyte changes consistent with congestive heart failure (CHF; n = 12), and other cardiac pathologies (n = 8). The median concentrations in the five groups were not significantly different for either CK or CK-MB. Compared with the no-pathology group, only the MI group was significantly different for cTnI, and the MI and other pathology groups were significantly different for cTnT. For patients with MI, 22%, 19%, 48%, and 65% had increased CK, CK-MB, cTnI, and cTnT, respectively; for CHF and other cardiac pathologies combined, the percentages were 28%, 17%, 22%, and 50%. For patients with increased cTnI, 72% and 28% had MI and other myocardial pathologies, respectively; patients with increased cTnT had 64% and 36%, respectively. Patients without myocardial pathology had no increases in CK-MB, cTnI, or cTnT. CONCLUSIONS All patients with increased serum CK-MB, cTnI, and cTnT had significant cardiac histologic changes. The second-generation cTnT assay appears to be a more sensitive indicator of MI and other myocardial pathologies than the cTnI assay used in this study.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) is known as a cardiac biomarker in determining the myocardial damage of diseases which affect the heart muscle. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the serum cTnI concentration in Markhoz Breed goats suffering selenium (Se) deficiency and its correlation with electrocardiographic parameters, and activity of creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate aminotransf...
متن کاملComparison of the troponin T and troponin I ELISA tests, as measured by microplate immunoassay techniques, in diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.
We describe an improved procedure using a standard microplate immunoassay reader to measure the concentration of troponin T in human serum. We also describe an immunoassay for troponin I in serum. Only 160 microliters of serum are needed for a single analysis of each troponin. For comparison, creatine kinase MB mass analysis in serum was performed with a commercial luminometric method. From 95 ...

Introduction: Serum levels of cardiac troponin (CTnI) and creatine kinase (CK-MB) are two indicators of cardiac cell damage. The present study aimedto investigate the effect of different volumes of a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) course on serum CTnI and CK-MB levels in cardiac patients after myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study with prete...
