Immunoassays measuring cardiac troponins I or T have become firmly established as critical
tools for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction. While most contemporary assays provide …

Troponin has been the cornerstone of the definition of MI since its introduction to clinical
practice. High-sensitivity troponin has allowed clinicians to detect degrees of myocardial …

Background and aims The lysosomal cysteine proteases cathepsin B and S have been
implicated in the atherosclerotic process. The present paper investigates the association …

Background: High-sensitivity troponin I, cardiac form (hs-cTnI) accelerates the assessment of
acute coronary syndrome. Little has been documented about its performance, how it relates …

Objective Low-level high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) increases in elderly
population. In this study, the relationship between hs-cTnT level and all-cause death of …

Purpose To examine risk factors for prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) in the oldest-old
inpatients aged≥ 90. Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in …

Introduction Troponin elevation is central to the diagnosis of acute type 1 myocardial
infarction. It is, however, elevated in a range of other conditions, including type 2 myocardial …

Background Open pancreaticoduodenectomy has a high complication and measurable
mortality rate. Recent reports (based across multiple surgical disciplines) demonstrate that …

Background Myonecrosis provoked by illness unrelated to unstable coronary plaque is
common, but uncertainty about a cause-effect relationship with future events challenges the …

Purpose Elevated cardiac troponin levels have been shown to be associated with a poor
prognosis under some intensive care conditions. This study investigated whether inclusion …
