Multigene Assays to Improve Assessment of Recurrence Risk and Benefit From Chemotherapy in Early-Stage Colon Cancer: Has the Time Finally Arrived, or Are We Still Stage Locked? Great strides have been ...
There is still a debate about very high-level endurance exercise. While most recreational runners show no lasting harm, some ...
Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). The ...
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 ...

High levels of troponin in athletes are not caused by narrowed coronary arteries, study finds
Exercising is healthy, but it also puts strain on the heart. During physical exertion, the protein troponin is released—a biomarker indicative of cardiac damage. New research from Radboudumc involving ...
It has been known for 50 years that transaminase activity increases in patients with acute myocardial infarction. With the development of creatine kinase (CK), biomarkers of cardiac injury began to ...
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 ...
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 ...
How many ways can a troponin assay come up with a false positive or a false negative? In this episode of AP Cardiology, Andrew Perry, MD, tallies it up with Robert Christenson, PhD, of the University ...
