Workup showed no ECG abnormalities but significantly elevated, uptrending high sensitivity troponin. Medical management included clopidogrel load, heparin drip, and nitropaste for persistent pain. Urgent coronary angiography showed a severe bifurcating lesion in the LCx and OM1 arteries, successfully ...
All patients displayed high risk features (elevated serum troponin (Tn), ECG abnormalities or both), received standard therapy and were due to undergo early angiography with a view to PCI. Those with other factors likely to influence platelet function testing were excluded. At angiography, blood ...
Cardiac troponins I and T and NT-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide were elevated after races as additionally predictive of acute cardiac events in asymptomatic persons. Conclusions: High short-term risk for acute cardiac events in asymptomatic middle-aged male runners is shown by stratification of ...

We identified the following factors associated with both CLR and ALR status: acute coronary syndromes, positive troponin values as well as diabetes mellitus and elevated HbA1C values and a higher platelet count. Furthermore, our data revealed for CLR elevated C-reactive protein values and a high ...
