BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction is characterized by an increase of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) above the 99th percentile of a reference population. Our hospital switched from 1 contemporary cTnI assay to another and observed a doubling of cTnI results above the assays' respective 99th percentile cutoffs. We investigated the potential impact on inpatient management and outcomes. METHODS We perf...
Two patients were investigated for unexplained increases in troponin T. In the first patient, who had rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, troponin T reached a peak value of 13.50 micrograms/L (67.5-fold the upper reference limit). The second patient had chronic renal failure and the troponin T peak value was 2.85 micrograms/L (14.3-fold the upper reference limit). Clinical investigations in...
Improved detection of minor ischemic myocardial injury with measurement of serum cardiac troponin I.
This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of the measurement of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) with creatine kinase (CK) MB mass in patients with minor myocardial injury whose measured total CK activity did not exceed twice the upper reference limit (300 U/L for men; 200 U/L for women). Forty-eight consecutive patients presenting with chest pain and with in-hospital documentation of myocardi...
BACKGROUND There is little information available on cardiac troponin concentrations in healthy young children. METHODS Using a precommercial high-sensitivity assay from Abbott Diagnostics, we measured cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in longitudinal blood samples collected at ages 8, 10, and 12 years from a cohort of healthy, community-dwelling children. The 99th percentile values were calculated an...
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) has been used in the diagnosis and risk stratification of acute myocardial infarction. However, there is no common consensus on an hs-cTnI reference interval for the Chinese population. The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of hs-TnI and establish the 99th percentile reference interval for hs-cTnI in healthy adults from the Sichuan ...
Controversy exists as to the clinical roles and relative specificities of cardiac troponin T or I in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP). We measured troponin T and I levels on admission in 123 patients with UAP. Of the 107 patients with normal creatine kinase during the first 24 hours, troponin T and I were elevated in 14 and 13 patients, respectively. At 30 days, 5 of 14 patients (36...
Troponin I is a thin-filament contractile protein expressed in striated muscle. There are three known troponin I genes which are expressed in a muscle-fibre-type-specific manner in mature animals. Although the slow skeletal troponin I isoform is expressed in fetal and neonatal heart, the cardiac isoform is restricted in its expression to the myocardium at all developmental stages. To study the ...
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effects of sex, prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), and aging on the 99th percentile of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). METHODS cTnI was measured using a high-sensitivity assay (Abbott Diagnostics) in 814 community-dwelling individuals at both 70 and 75 years of age. We determined the cTnI 99th percentiles separately using nonparametric methods in the tot...
Secondary phosphorylation develops in myocytes expressing phospho-mimetic cardiac troponin I (cTnI) but it is not known whether multiple substitutions (e.g. cTnISDTD and cTnIS4D) cause preferential phosphorylation of the remaining endogenous or the phospho-mimetic cTnI in intact myocytes. Western analysis was performed to determine whether the FLAG/total cTnI ratios are similar for phosphorylat...
beta-Adrenergic stimulation of the heart results in bisphosphorylation of the N-terminal extension of cardiac troponin I (TnI). Bisphosphorylation of TnI reduces the affinity of the regulatory site on troponin C (TnC) for Ca(2+) by increasing the rate of Ca(2+) dissociation. What remains unclear is how the phosphorylation signal is transmitted from one subunit of troponin to another. We have pr...
