Role of High-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin in Acute Coronary Syndrome
Author(s): Mahesh Anantha Narayanan , Santiago Garcia Added: 3 years ago
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for an emergency room (ER) visit in the US with almost 6 million ER visits annually.1 According to the fourth universal definition of MI, acute MI (AMI) requires a rise and/or fall in cardiac troponin (cTn) with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit.2,3 Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are the… View more

Abstract The introduction of novel high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays has made it possible to measure cardiac troponin levels that are up to 10-fold lower than those detectable by conventional cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. With such novel assays, an elevated risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was noted across the continuum of cTn levels, with an incremental risk of… View more

Management of Cardiovascular Disease During Pregnancy
Author(s): Nandita S Scott Added: 3 years ago
The US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, at an estimated 26.4 deaths per 100,000 live births. This rate is rising, although it is falling in other wealthy nations.1 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of maternal death, so cardiologists need to build on their knowledge and enhance their proficiency on the management of cardiovascular disease during pregnancy.2 … View more

Advanced Management Options for Massive and Submassive Pulmonary Embolism
Author(s): Sonika Malik , Anju Bhardwaj , Matthew Eisen , et al Added: 3 years ago
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and serious manifestation of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The incidence is estimated to be 50 per 100,000 but increases to 500 per 100,000 in the elderly.1 There is a wide spectrum of clinical severity with mortality estimates of 1–2 % in stable individuals and up to 30 % in patients presenting… View more

Accurate and timely biochemical marker testing for aiding the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) has been important for the appropriate disposition and treatment of patients for the past several decades. Creatine kinase (CK) muscle and brain (CK-MB) mass and myoglobin measurements were the standard up to the mid-1990s, when assays for the cardiac-specific isoforms of troponin I and troponin… View more
