Hypertension affects nearly half the United States population. Individuals with hypertension are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease if blood pressure is not controlled. Identifying ...
Cardiac troponin concentrations follow a different arc across the years in women versus men, according to a new study tracking how biomarker values shifted by sex over 15 years. Unlike the ...
Switching from a conventional to a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I assay in emergency departments is associated with a reduction in both mortality at 1 year and new admissions for myocardial ...
