An elevated troponin alone cannot establish a diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI), yet the optimal methods for diagnosing MI in the intensive care unit (ICU) are not established. The study objective was to estimate the frequency of MI using troponin T measurements, 12-lead electrocardiograms ...

Heart injuries from heroin use and withdrawal cause troponin levels to become elevated (> 0.015-0.045 ng/mL), and this is detected in blood tests [20]. Abdominal cramps and diarrhoea occur in 70-85% of detoxing patients, and this can be appropriately managed using loperamide [22]. Patients...
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are subject to infectious complications that adversely affect outcomes. Rapid identification is essential for adequate treatment. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a noninvasive blood test that could serve this purpose, however i
The measurement of cardiac troponin, released from injured cardiomyocytes, is of paramount importance in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Elevated troponin can be encountered, however, in patients with cardiomyopathy, significant cardiac arrhythmias, vasculitis, right-sided heart strain, critical...

are reliable indicators of myocardial damage. The level of troponin in the blood increases within a few hours of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and remains elevated for up to 2 weeks. However, it’s important to note that troponin levels can also rise in conditions such as inflammation,...
