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 ...

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN — Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) can predict mortality and clinical events even in patients without overt heart disease, suggests a large cohort study that expands on research suggesting ...

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, ...

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 couple of ...

Dear Dr. Roach: My mom was just admitted to the hospital with chest pressure. She had just lost her husband of 62 years last week, and she initially thought this was just stress. They said she might ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing can identify patients with stable coronary artery disease who have a greater risk for MI or cardiovascular death, a study conducted in Scotland indicates.

Certain blood tests have been recalled due to risk for false negative or falsely low cardiac troponin levels. The FDA designated the recall as serious due to the risks of a missed or delayed MI ...

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 ...

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