Risks of cardiac imaging [PDF]
With regard to the research article by Eisenberg and colleagues,[1][1] the authors only briefly note that the radiation-associated increase in cancer risk is higher than for atomic bomb survivors in the Life Span Study (LSS).[2][2] In the LSS, the excess relative risk per sievert (Sv) for the ...

Tissue Doppler imaging following paediatric cardiac surgery : early patterns of change and relationship to outcome [PDF]
In this study, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was used to assess changes in ventricular function following repair of congenital heart defects. The relationship between TDI indices, myocardial injury and clinical outcome was explored.

Cardiac troponin I but not cardiac troponin T adheres to polysulfone dialyser membranes in an in vitro haemodialysis model: explanation for lower serum cTnI concentrations following dialysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) can occur in patients with chronic kidney disease. Differences in cTn concentrations between cTnT and cTnI have been reported but the mechanism of such discrepancy has not been ...
