June 11, 2007 -- A class 1 recall has been announced for a cardiac immunoassay ( Architect STAT Troponin-1, Abbott Laboratories, Inc) due to the potential risk for inaccurate test results at very ...

Cardiac troponin I and T assays are indeed highly sensitive for the detection of myocardial injury. Approximately 30% of patients previously diagnosed with unstable angina with no increase in creatine ...

Using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin 1 (hs-cTnI) assay to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) may lead to overdiagnosis with resulting inappropriate therapies, researchers conclude from a new ...

Exercising is healthy, but it also puts strain on the heart. During physical exertion, the protein troponin is released—a ...

A less-sensitive, currently used troponin 1 test called cTnI scored similarly, but the researchers say the new test picks up even lower levels of troponin faster than the cTNI test that could ...

Troponin T was abnormally elevated to 0.1 ng per milliliter or higher in 3645 patients (52 percent), and to 0.03 ng per milliliter or higher in 4512 patients (64 percent).

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) was measured in 50,523 participants from 11 studies, while high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) was used in 28,090 participants from six studies, ...

For patients with suspected ACS and no clear signs of ischemia on ECG, use of a 0/1-hour high-sensitivity troponin T testing protocol in which all test results were available to treating physicians ...
