OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare the prognostic value of an abnormal
troponin level derived from studies of patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary …

Point-of-care (POC) or “near-patient” testing allows diagnostic assays to be performed in
locations such as the emergency department or intensive care unit where treatment …

La aparición de los nuevos marcadores biológicos de daño miocárdico, especialmente
troponinas y mioglobina, ha supuesto un notable avance en el manejo de los pacientes con …

Objectives: Our primary objective was to examine the prognostic relationship between
baseline quantitative ST-segment depression (ST↓) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) …

We evaluated cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) for risk
stratification of chest pain unit (CPU) patients. We studied 383 consecutive patients with …

The acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a pathological, diagnostic, and risk
continuum from unstable angina through myocardial infarction (MI) with or without ST …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is considered the leading cause of morbidity and mortality
in many industrialized nations. AMI is defined currently by detection of a rise and/or fall of …

Among these markers, the most relevant are the cardiac troponins (troponin I and troponin T)
because of their cardiospecificity, and myoglobin because of its combination of diagnostic …

Introduction: Patients with a negative troponin (TnT) result showed 1.4% mortality during a
mean follow-up of 9–10 weeks. Mortality was greater in patients with an evidence of …

The early presence of troponin T in serum strongly predicts short-term mortality and
myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndromes. We investigated the long …
