Adding high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays on top of conventional risk-prediction methods can potentially improve primary prevention efforts, according to a new meta-analysis. While best known ...
An estimated 3 million patients visit emergency departments each year with acute chest pain and mildly elevated troponin levels. High levels of troponin, a protein, occur when the heart muscle is ...
In patients with acute ischemic stroke and elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn), dynamic changes in hs-cTn are not helpful in identifying myocardial infarction (MI) or distinguishing MI ...
Elevations in cardiac troponin (cTn) after long bouts of aerobic exercise are not associated with subclinical coronary artery disease in middle-aged athletes, a new study shows. The release of cTn ...
September 2, 2011 (Paris, France) — Elderly persons who lead more physically active lives are less likely to show a clinically significant rise in levels of a heart-cell injury biomarker, ...

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 ...
A study published in the European Heart Journal could help predict the likelihood of dementia up to 25 years in advance. The research found a link between increased levels of cardiac troponin, a ...
