The cardiac troponins form part of the regulatory mechanism for muscle contraction. Specific
cardiac isoforms of cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I exist and commercially …

It is well recognized that the procedure of hemodialysis is associated with significant
changes in blood pressure and systemic hemodynamics; 20–30% of treatments are …

The clinical presentations of ischaemic heart disease include stable angina pectoris, silent
ischaemia, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and sudden death. For …

Background Among patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes, cardiac troponin T
levels have prognostic value. However, there is concern that renal dysfunction may impair …

Background: Spurious increases in serum troponins, especially troponin T, have been
reported in patients with and without acute myocardial syndromes. Methods: We studied 78 …

Background: In patients suffering from end-stage renal failure, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and

Background Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) has recently become an available tumour
biomarker for detecting ovarian cancer along with the standard cancer antigen 125 (CA125) …

Background: The new definition of myocardial infarction (MI) emphasizes the pre‐eminent
role of troponin for diagnosis. Troponin rise indicates myocardial injury, but is not …

Background Although troponin is considered a specific marker for the diagnosis of acute
coronary syndrome (ACS), recent studies have shown troponin elevation in a variety of …

New cardiac-specific markers have recently been introduced into the arena of cardiac
diagnostic tests. The cardiac troponins, because of their extraordinary high speci-ficity for …
