Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). The ...

August 13, 2012 (Basel, Switzerland) — Swiss researchers have published more details about what they say is a simple algorithm employing high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin T that can safely rule ...

Measuring high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) at presentation and after 1 hour not only identifies chest pain patients in the emergency department (ED) who are having an acute myocardial ...

In some U.S. emergency departments (EDs), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-hour troponin algorithm has shown uniquely poor performance ruling out cardiac events in patients presenting with ...

Cardiac troponins are preferred markers of tissue injury in acute coronary syndromes. Their specificity and the fact that only very minute amounts or none are normally found in the circulation provide ...

“Both the high safety standard and the risk [that] missed ACS poses to patients and clinicians contribute to over-testing, which exposes patients to costs and iatrogenic harm while contributing to ED ...
