background: serum troponin elevation, characteristic of ischemic myocardial injury, has been observed in some acute ischemic stroke (ais) patients. its cause and significance are still controversial. the purpose of this study is to find determinants of troponin elevation and its relationship with stroke severity and location. methods: between january 2013 and august 2013, 114 consecutive ais pa...

acute chest pain is an important and frequently occurring symptom in patients. chest pain is often a sign of ischemic heart disease. chest pain due to suspected acute coronary syndrome (acs) is responsible for a large and increasing number of hospital attendances and admissions. current practice for suspected acs involves troponin testing 10–12 hours after symptom onset to diagnose myocardial i...

background: the purpose of this research was to determine the relation between negative or positive qualitative troponin i test and the short term prognosis of patients presenting to emergency department with chest pain or angina equivalent symptoms. methods: we assessed the qualitative rapid troponin i in patients with chest pain or angina equivalent symptoms after at least 4 hours and then we...

background: myocardial infarction is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. platelet count and the mean platelet volume (mpv), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size which correlates with platelet activation, might associate with troponin in acute chest pain. methods: we analyzed mpv of 851 patients who were admitted to rasoul-e-akram hospital with acu...

background polypeptide hormone leptin suppresses inflammation in the heart muscle and protects heart from diseases. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between leptin and troponin serum levels with cardiac involvement in patients with major beta thalassemia. materials and methods in this cross-sectional study, 70 children with major thalassemia were selected. two ml blood ...
