That keeps your troponin level elevated. And because your kidneys don’t work as well as they should, they may not be able to filter troponin out of your blood and into your urine. Tracking your troponin levels may help your doctor determine whether you are at risk of a heart attack or...
An elevated but invariant troponin level may be more consistent with no new myocardial injury. The clinical status of the patient must also guide the clinician in interpreting the significance of troponin elevations in patients with renal failure and suspected ACS. Treatment of patients with renal ...
18 Patients with a single elevated troponin <5× upper limit of normal were excluded to ensure patients with low chronic troponin elevation without an acute event, such as patients with chronic heart failure, were excluded. The study was reviewed and approved by the local institutional review ...
Among patients with a creatinine clearance in the lowest quartile, an elevated troponin T level was similarly predictive of increased risk (20 percent vs. 9 percent; adjusted odds ratio, 2.5; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.8 to 3.3; P<0.001). When the creatinine clearance rate was ...
Meaning The risk associated with elevated hscTnT and NTproBNP levels may be modifiable with intensive systolic blood pressure lowering. Abstract Importance Elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hscTnT) and N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) levels are associated with risk of...
Objectives To clarify the meaning of elevated cardiac troponin in elite soccer athletes previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and screened for cardiovascular involvement in the wake of competitive sport resumption. Methods We designed a retrospective cohort ...
The main finding of this work is that, in a swine model of hyperdynamic septic shock without overt signs of heart failure, elevated values of circulating cTnT were present within a couple of hours of shock onset in a subset of septic pigs and the hs-cTnT level was found to be associate...
