Introduction Troponin is an integral component of the evaluation for acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) and occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI). However, troponin may be�…

Cardiac troponins are very sensitive and specific markers of myocardial injury. Elevated
troponin levels in the setting of acute coronary syndrome are diagnostic of acute myocardial�…

Background: Cardiac troponin elevations are associated not only with acute coronary
syndromes (ACS) but also with multiple other cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. Study�…

Cardiac troponin (cTn) is a highly specific biomarker of myocardial injury and is central to the
diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). By itself, however, cTn cannot identify the�…

Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined by the presence of myocardial necrosis in combination
with clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia. Cardiac troponins are regulatory proteins�…

Troponin is a highly sensitive biomarker of myocardial injury and has been used extensively
in everyday clinical practice in the community as well as in hospitals for the diagnosis of�…

Background Troponin elevation can be caused by etiologies other than acute coronary
syndromes (ACS). Our hypothesis was that elevated troponins occur more frequently in non�…

Background Cardiac troponins have emerged as the preferred biomarkers for detecting
myocardial necrosis and diagnosing myocardial infarction. However, current cardiac�…

Cardiac troponin is a preferred biomarker of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Unfortunately,
elevation of troponin can be detected in a variety of conditions other than acute MI. This�…

Acute coronary syndromes comprise a large spectrum of clinical conditions ranging from
unstable angina pectoris to acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Chest pain is usually�…
