in the AOR of a STEMI (AOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.03-1.12) and an increase in QTc by 10 was associated with a 13% decrease in the AOR of a STEMI (AOR 0.87, 95% CI 0.78-0.93).Conclusions: Patients with NSTEMIs had longer QTc intervals and lower troponin I levels than those with STEMIs...
Most STEMI and NSTEMI patients fit into this category. Detection of a rise and/or fall of cardiac troponin values with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit is one criterion of diagnosis. Any other symptoms including evidence of myocardial ischemia, development of ...
Objective: In the present study we aimed to compare the levels of troponin and SCUBE 1 markers to determine the diagnostic role of SCUBE 1 in patients with STEMI-NSTEMI. Methods: This study was prospectively conducted with 119 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction at the emergency ...
(TnT), which binds totropomyosin. TnT usually increases up to about 20-fold above the reference range in patients with STEMI. The elevation is detectable in the serum at around 4 to 6 hours and persists for 7 to 10 days after MI. In contrast to CK, cardiac TnI and cardiac TnT have ...
As far as dynamic changes of cTn levels are concerned, for both, sensitive contemporary and highly sensitive cTn, differences of the relative delta values identifying NSTEMI patients have been implemented. Following a broad offensive of the GCS, specialized chest pain units (CPUs) have been ...
also demonstrated that troponin elevation was strongly associated with risk for death or MI in patients with STEMI, NSTEMI, and UA [53]. In this study, consisting of almost 19,000 patients from 21 studies, the ORs relative to troponin-negative patients ranged between 2.86 in STEMI patients, ...
Objectives ST elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs) and non-ST elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMIs) have differences that can be important to differentiate. Our primary hypothesis was that corrected QT (QTc) duration and troponin I levels were higher in STEMIs compared with NSTEMIs. The...
Using hs-cTnT levels obtained at 3 hours after admission, the sensitivity was 93.6% and the negative predictive value was 97.1% to rule-out NSTEMI. The diagnostic performance for the absolute hs-cTnT concentration - as quantified by the area under the receiver operating chara...
ACS patients can show unstable angina pectoris (UAP) or myocardial infarction (MI). MI can be an ST-elevation MI (STEMI) or a non-ST-elevated MI (NSTEMI). The occurring of an ACS can be followed by a left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and symptoms of heart failure....
