Incorporating high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) testing into the traditional HEART pathway may improve detection of acute MI in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest ...

A new test has been developed in Turku, Finland, that helps in separating heart attack patients from those whose cardiac troponin values are elevated due to renal insufficiency. Cardiac troponins are ...

A simple £5 blood test for the protein troponin could predict a person's risk of heart attacks and strokes with greater accuracy than ever before, research suggests. Troponin is found in heart muscle ...

Nearly 1 in 5 US adults with type 2 diabetes but without symptoms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have a clinically meaningful elevation of a marker of cardiac damage — namely, high sensitivity ...

An experimental wrist-worn device was found to predict troponin-I and obstructed arteries with 90% accuracy in five minutes, according to research being presented at the American College of Cardiology ...

A risk score based on 13 independent risk factors can accurately predict the prognosis of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) with acute heart failure (AHF), a study has shown.

A new test has been developed in Turku, Finland, that helps in separating heart attack patients from those whose cardiac troponin values are elevated due to renal insufficiency. Blood sample tests for ...
