Over the past 2 decades, cardiac troponins (cTn) have emerged as the preferred biomarkers
for the noninvasive detection of myocardial injury. In conjunction with typical clinical findings …

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 …

Cardiac-specific troponins are elevated in blood following cardiac injury and are the
preferred diagnostic biomarkers when acute myocardial infarction is suspected clinically …

Cardiac troponin (cTn) I and T are structural proteins unique to the heart. Detection of cTn in
peripheral blood indicates cardiomyocyte damage. As acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is …

Elucidation of the physiologically distinct subunits of troponin in 1973 greatly facilitated our
understanding of cardiac contraction. Although troponins are expressed in both skeletal and …

Background: Although cardiac troponin (cTn) is a cornerstone marker in the assessment and
management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and heart failure (HF), cTn is …

Background: Cardiac troponin (cTn) elevation is a common finding in acutely admitted
patients, even in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. In some of these patients, no …

Acute coronary syndromes comprise a large spectrum of clinical conditions ranging from
unstable angina pectoris to acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Chest pain is usually …

BACKGROUND Increased cardiac troponin concentrations in acute coronary syndrome
(ACS) identify patients with ongoing cardiomyocyte necrosis who are at increased risk …

The role of cardiac troponins as diagnostic biomarkers of myocardial injury in the context of
acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well established. Since the initial 1st-generation assays …
