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 ...

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 ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old male who apparently suffered a case of food poisoning. I say apparently because no cause was ever discovered for the uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea that lasted ...

QUEBEC CITY — Preoperative elevated troponin levels were associated with a more than fourfold increased risk for major cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) ...

There is still a debate about very high-level endurance exercise. While most recreational runners show no lasting harm, some ...

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 ...
