Article history: Received 5 June 2015 Accepted 20 June 2015 Available online 27 June 2015 over, laboratory testing showed elevated plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT, 65.8 ng/l; reference b14 ng/l [2]) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP, 9024 pg/ml; reference b600 pg/ml [3]). Since the patient met all inclusion and no exclusion criteria, shewas included in the Pulmonary Embolism Thrombolysis (PEITHO) study [4] and randomized to tenecteplase versus placebo on top on therapeutic anticoagulation using unfractionated heparin.

Predictive value of troponins and simplified pulmonary embolism severity index in patients with normotensive pulmonary embolism
BACKGROUND To investigate whether 2 cardiac troponins [conventional troponin-T(cTnT) and high sensitive troponin-T(hsTnT)] combined with simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI), or either test alone are useful for predicting 30-day mortality and 6 months adverse outcomes in patients with normotensive pulmonary embolism(PE). METHODS The prospective study included 121 consecutive p...
متن کاملAge-adjusted high-sensitivity troponin T cut-off value for risk stratification of pulmonary embolism.
High-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) helps in identifying pulmonary embolism patients at low risk of an adverse outcome. In 682 normotensive pulmonary embolism patients we investigate whether an optimised hsTnT cut-off value and adjustment for age improve the identification of patients at elevated risk. Overall, 25 (3.7%) patients had an adverse 30-day outcome. The established hsTnT cut-off valu...
متن کاملHave we found how to identify candidates for thrombolysis among normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) results in a wide spectrum of haemodynamic compromise and in hospital PE-related mortality. It is generally accepted that haemodynamically unstable patients with systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg at presentation form a high-risk group (∼5% of all PE patients), with short-term mortality exceeding 15%. They require urgent primary revascularisation performed mostly wit...
متن کاملPredictive value of the high-sensitivity troponin T assay and the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index in hemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism: a prospective validation study.
BACKGROUND The new, high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) assay may improve risk stratification of normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We externally validated the prognostic value of hsTnT, and of the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI), in a large multicenter cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively examined 526 normotensive patients with acute PE; of...
