The findings suggest that as with serum cholesterol, the risk for fatal events increases as troponin levels rise. The clinical implications, if any, are still unclear, however.

Patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19 and have an elevated vs normal troponin levels were found to be at higher risk for death.

The upper limit of normal for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) testing may not be a good indicator of who is having an acute MI in the absence of symptoms or history. In a British study of ...

Patients with chest pain who have MI and other potential acute causes of troponin elevation ruled out remain at a higher risk for death and cardiovascular outcomes if they have any troponin T detected ...

In a large hospital population, most of whom did not have an indication for troponin testing, high levels of cardiac troponin were associated with elevated risk for all-cause mortality ...

Rising troponin levels after exercise can help identify those at risk of cardiovascular disease or early death; the findings do not mean exercise is harmful.

Among patients with STEMI, 1 in 4 had troponin concentrations less than the European Society of Cardiology-recommended rule-in threshold for accelerated diagnostic testing at presentation ...

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with high troponin levels are twice as likely to have cardiac abnormalities than those with normal troponin, with or without COVID-19, a multicenter UK study suggests.

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 ...

Highly sensitive troponin 1 assay was more than 98 percent accurate ruling out heart attack in patients admitted to ER with chest pains ...

A troponin level is a standard blood test usually used to evaluate patients for heart attacks. However, newer, highly sensitive assays have proven that tiny levels of troponin may be detected in ...
