The ability to diagnose MI was better with troponin I, but T better predicted mortality. Both tests have strengths, ...

Switching from a conventional to a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assay was linked to lower mortality at 30 days and 1 year in patients with suspected acute coronary disease.

New data from US centers suggest some overtesting in patients without chest pain, and undertesting in those who do.

However, it is not well understood how controlling blood pressure affects levels of troponin I and whether the change in troponin I levels predicted the future risk of cardiovascular disease.

Troponin is shown in red (subunits not distinguished). Upon binding calcium, troponin moves tropomyosin away from the myosin-binding sites on actin (bottom), effectively unblocking it. Modified ...

A bracelet-like device that measures levels of troponin-I in the blood could provide a more efficient way of detecting a heart attack, according to US researchers. The wearable developed by RCE ...

A wearable device that could detect sickness, such as chronic cardiovascular disease, is being developed by a Cincinnati professor.

Cardiac enzymes ― also known as cardiac biomarkers ― include myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase. Historically, lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH, was also used but is non-specific.
