Abstract The Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (MI) requires cardiac
myocyte necrosis with an increase and/or a decrease in a patient's plasma of cardiac …

Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined by the presence of myocardial necrosis in combination
with clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia. Cardiac troponins are regulatory proteins …

At the dawn of the new century, the advent of more specific myocardial tissue markers, such
as cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT), has led to a new definition of acute myocardial …

Acute myocardial infarction is defined as myocardial cell death due to prolonged myocardial
ischaemia. Cardiac troponins (cTn) are the most sensitive and specific biochemical markers …

The definition of myocardial infarction was updated in 2000 to include an elevation of
cardiac troponin T or I (cTnT or xTnI) alongside clinical evidence of myocardial infarction …

Background: Although the 99th percentile is the recommended diagnostic threshold for
myocardial infarction, some guidelines also advocate the use of higher troponin thresholds …

In the year 2000, the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of
Cardiology Committee jointly redefined myocardial infarction (MI) by an elevation of cardiac …

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays have been used clinically by thousands of
physicians in many countries throughout the world since their clinical introduction 7 years …

In medicine, as in all human communication, clear definitions are essential. The history of
medicine is filled with examples of communication failures that result when poor definitions …

Aims We sought to examine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of sensitive cardiac troponin
(cTn) assays in patients with pre-existing coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and …
