Ideal high sensitivity troponin baseline cutoff for patients with renal dysfunction.
(The American journal of emergency medicine, 2022-06) -
Implications of troponin testing in clinical medicine.
(Current controlled trials in cardiovascular medicine, 2001-01)During the past decade considerable research has been conducted into the use of cardiac troponins, their diagnostic capability and their potential to allow risk stratification in patients with acute chest pain. Determination ... -
Myocardial Ischemia on Exercise Stress Echocardiography Testing Is Not Associated with Changes in Troponin T Concentrations
(The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, 2017)Background: Some posit that any amount of myocardial ischemia can be detected by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays. We hypothesized that patients with myocardial ischemia induced by exercise stress would have significantly ... -
Outcomes in ED patients with non-specific ECG findings and low high-sensitivity troponin.
(Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2022-12)<h4>Background</h4>Although some emergency department risk stratification tools consider non-specific ECG findings as an aid in disposition decisions, their clinical value in patients with an initially low high-sensitivity ... -
Outpatient versus observation/inpatient management of emergency department patients rapidly ruled-out for acute myocardial infarction: Findings from the HIGH-US study.
(American heart journal, 2021-01)<h4>Background</h4>The actual Emergency Department (ED) dispositions of patients enrolled in observational studies and meeting criteria for rapid acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rule-out are unknown. Additionally, their ... -
Performance of Novel High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I Assays for 0/1-Hour and 0/2- to 3-Hour Evaluations for Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results From the HIGH-US Study.
(Annals of emergency medicine, 2020-07)STUDY OBJECTIVE:We determine the accuracy of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), European-derived, rapid, acute myocardial infarction, rule-out/rule-in algorithms applied to a US emergency department (ED) population. ... -
Provocative biomarker stress test: stress-delta N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide.
(Open Heart, 2018-01)Objective:Stress testing is commonly performed in emergency department (ED) patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We hypothesised that changes in N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ...
