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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have known for some time now that cardiovascular health can impact a person’s risk for dementia. Past studies show that certain heart-related conditions may increase a person’s risk of ...

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 ...

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, ...

Baseline troponin levels were also higher in the exercise-induced ischemia group: 5.4 pg/mL compared to 3.9. When doctors tested for troponin 45 and 90 minutes after the mental stress test, they ...

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 ...

Donor cardiac troponin I level is not associated with intermediate-term mortality, cardiac allograft vasculopathy or primary graft failure in patients receiving heart transplants, US researchers ...

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 ...
