Tests of level of plasma inflammatory factors is greatly helpful for diagnosis of fulminant myocarditis, especially soluble ST2 level elevation (>55ng/mL). What need to exclude in most is acute myocardial infarction (by coronary angiography), and next is stress cardiomyopathy. Timely clinical ...
Fractional flow reserve is easy to perform and provides an accurate and lesion-specific index of functional severity of coronary stenosis that correlates with noninvasive tests of myocardial ischemia in patients with intermediate lesions (112). Fractional flow reserve has been compared with IVUS as a...

There are two approaches to use of natriuretic peptide testing for screening purposes. In the first approach, blood natriuretic peptide testing may be useful in the setting of acute myocardial infarction in the absence of overt heart failure. In this setting, blood natriuretic peptide levels have ...
The primary risk factors for severe respiratory failure and death in the elderly hospitalized with COVID-19 remain unclear. To determine the association of chronic diseases, chest computed tomography (CT), and laboratory tests with severe respiratory fai
Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene have shown to be more accurate than phenotypic, biochemical tests. PCR testing for the rpoB, groESL, and also the ribosomal 16S-23S intergenic spacer region (ITS) genes have all shown to be reliable targets for identification.8-10 The introduction of MALDI-...
It allows for the continuous monitoring of the interactions between coagulation factors, inhibitors and cellular components during the formation of the blood clot and its lysis. Due to its advantages over standard plasma-based coagulation tests, mainly when applied to the haemostatic evaluation of ...
