Results from the TRAPID-AMI clinical study have been published online by the Annals of Emergency Medicine, confirming a novel approach for a more rapid diagnosis of heart attack in patients with acute ...

A single high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) test with findings below the level of detection, teamed with a nonischemic electrocardiogram (ECG), can identify patients with chest pain in the ...

The current lower limit for detection of plasma troponin T in most commercially available tests is approximately 0.01 μg/l, and levels higher than this value are associated with increased mortality.

The newer high-sensitivity troponin test discovers smaller amounts of heart-specific proteins, troponins, than the older troponin test and thus identifies more myocardial infarction patients than ...

Roche announced that it has received the 510(k) clearance for its Elecsys Troponin T Gen 5 STAT (TnT Gen 5 STAT) blood test for patients with a suspected heart attack. With this clearance, Roche is ...

US physicians who’ve been waiting to get their hands on high-sensitivity troponin tests don’t have to wait any longer. Last week, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave 510(k) clearance to the ...

A modified algorithm using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay safely and rapidly ruled out more patients with myocardial infarction in one US emergency department, with more than ...

A new study out of Sweden shows that a rapid test for a cardiac enzyme, when combined with a normal electrocardiogram, rules out a heart attack with 99.8 percent reliability. What are the implications ...

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The most common reason people get admitted to the hospital is for chest pain. Sometimes, EKGs and other tests add to the challenge of figuring out what's really going on. Now, ...

Cardiac troponin T is a protein biomarker detectable with a blood test, and it is the preferred biomarker for determining cardiovascular risk. In a new study published in JAMA Cardiology, researchers ...

PARIS — A single cardiac troponin measurement by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay can safely and effectively rule out myocardial infarction (MI) at presentation, results from more ...
