INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA — Cardiac troponin levels that are high but still within the "normal" range appear to be a marker for increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially fatal CVD events, ...

Cardiac biomarkers, such as troponins, are indicative of myocardial damage and can be detected in circulation. Not only are ...

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 ...

A high level of troponin - a protein normally used to exclude the possibility of a heart attack in patients with chest pain - may signal a heightened risk of death from any cause within the next ...

Patients with chest pain who have MI and other potential acute causes of troponin elevation ruled out remain at a higher risk for death and cardiovascular outcomes if they have any troponin T detected ...
