Morton Kern, MD, of VA Long Beach Healthcare System and University of California, Irvine, often engages his colleagues via email in brief, informal dialogue on clinically relevant topics in ...

Relying on the sex-specific 99th percentile upper reference limit of cardiac troponin may incorrectly suggest myocardial infarction (MI) in older adults with suspected heart attacks, though no ...

Among adolescents and young adults, cTnI levels remain within normal ranges after mRNA-1273 vaccination, with no evidence of increased myocardial injury.

After being anesthetized and undergoing major surgery, up to one in five patients have increased levels of the protein troponin in their blood. This can be a sign of heart damage. Researchers at ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing can identify patients with stable coronary artery disease who have a greater risk for MI or cardiovascular death, a study conducted in Scotland indicates.

New upper reference limits (URLs) for troponin assays were introduced for pediatric medicine, the goal being greater accuracy in defining myocardial injury in children. From a reference group of ...

CMR‑based evaluation reduces radiation exposure for ED patients with indeterminate troponin levels and possible ACS.

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin thresholds used to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) and injury after cardiac surgery may need to be considerably higher than those currently recommended, a new ...

Using age-specific thresholds for troponin measurement would more accurately diagnose myocardial injury when assessing patients for suspected myocardial infarction (MI), a new study suggests. The ...

Rising troponin levels after exercise can help identify those at risk of cardiovascular disease or early death; the findings do not mean exercise is harmful. While exercise provides a variety of ...

Chest pain and suspected myocardial infarction were the cause of about 5% of all emergency hospital admissions in 2017 to 2018. However, myocardial infarction will have occurred in only about 20% of ...
