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 ...
BOSTON (Reuters) - New ultra-sensitive blood tests can rapidly detect when heart muscle is dying from a heart attack, even from the moment the patient arrives in the emergency room, according to two ...
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 ...
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 ...
BEDFORD PARK, AUSTRALIA — Use of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) assays, compared with standard TnT assays, may result in only modest improvement in evaluating emergency-department patients with ...

Chest pain and suspected myocardial infarction were the cause of about 5% of all emergency hospital admissions in 2017 to 2018. However, myocardial infarction will have occurred in only about 20% of ...
A single troponin level measurement test and an electrocardiogram may be sufficient to rule out the risk of a heart attack in patients complaining of chest pain, according to a study in the Journal of ...
Background and Goal: Chest pain is a common but challenging symptom for general practitioners to evaluate, as it can be caused by both serious conditions and more benign issues. This study assessed ...
Using age-specific thresholds for troponin measurement would more accurately diagnose myocardial injury when assessing patients for suspected myocardial infarction (MI), a new study suggests. The ...
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 ...
The committee heard from a patient expert who highlighted the stresses and fears that patients and their families experience when attending the emergency department with chest pain. Reducing waiting ...
