This definition may be to all-encompassing and lead to over-diagnosis in some groups (particularly the elderly). It is currently undergoing a refinement. Although eGFR and albuminuria are principally used to define CKD and stratify its prognosis, a number of new biomarkers, such as NGAL, FGF-...

What Is the Diagnostic Accuracy of Cardiac Biomarkers for the Prediction of Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients Presenting With Acute Syncope?Jason R. West MD EBEM CommentatorJames Russell MD EBEM CommentatorElsevier BVAnnals of Emergency Medicine
This is because the influences from very early neurodevelopmental time points, and perhaps even earlier than fertilization, are complex and multifaceted and frequently depend on the sex chromosome compliment of the individual or the sex of the parent contributing a given gene. Finally, the combination...
Biomarkers play a critical role in the early diagnosis of AMI. In fact, an elevation in cardiac troponin (cTn) of at least one measurement above the 99th percentile of a healthy reference population has become a condition sine qua non for the diagnosis of AMI....
Cell divisions lead to the progressive erosion of telomeric repeats. When telomeres become too short to recruit the shelterin complex, they become dysfunctional, leading to telomere deprotection. Chromosome ends with dysfunctional telomeres are detected as sites of DNA damage, leading to the activation ...
Fever: A fever can sometimes cause a higher heart rate. Several studies described MIS-C, but few papers evaluated cardiac manifestations in children with SARS-CoV-2 infection without MIS-C and And continue to follow the CDCs safety guidelines to wear masks, physically distance, and avoid large...
What is the function of troponin I? Cardiac troponin I and T are biomarkers of cardiac injury, so they are usually included in tests following a suspected heart attack. Normally either troponin I or T levels are tested but not usually both, since levels of each provide the same information....
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) and ventricular arrhythmia in ADHF are associated with high mortality. Patients with HF have a rate of SCD six to nine times greater than that in the general population [4]. SCD accounts for 30–50% of deaths in individuals with HF [5]. Ventricular tachycardia/...
