Liver parameters as part of a non-invasive model for prediction of all-cause mortality after myocardial infarction

Archives of Medical Science, 2019
Introduction Liver parameters are associated with cardiovascular disease risk and severity of stenosis. It is unclear whether liver parameters could predict the long-term outcome of patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Troponin in Chagas disease [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003
Chagas disease is still a major tropical diseasein Latin America, affecting 16 to 18 million people.About 6 million people are infected with thecausative organism, Trypanosoma cruzi , in Brazil[1]. However, it often remains for decades in itsindeterminate form, symptomless, with tissue injuryin about 30% of the cases, which eventually willevolve to ...

Cardiac biomarkers of acute coronary syndrome: from history to high-sensitivity cardiac troponin

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2017
The role of cardiac troponins as diagnostic biomarkers of myocardial injury in the context of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well established. Since the initial 1st-generation assays, 5th-generation high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays ...

Biologically‐Inspired Melt Electrowriting for the Generation of Highly Biomimetic Functional Myocardium

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Serial echocardiographic evaluation of COVID-19 patients without prior history of structural heart disease: a 1-year follow-up CRACoV-HHS study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundIt is a well-known fact that COVID-19 affects the cardiovascular system by exacerbating heart failure in patients with preexisting conditions. However, there is a poor insight into the cardiovascular involvement and sequelae in patients without

Anti–Cardiac Troponin Autoantibodies Are Specific to the Conformational Epitopes Formed by Cardiac Troponin I and Troponin T in the Ternary Troponin Complex [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2017
Abstract BACKGROUND Autoantibodies to cardiac troponins (TnAAbs) could negatively affect cardiac troponin I (cTnI) measurements by TnAAbs-sensitive immunoassays. We investigated the epitope specificity of TnAAbs and its influence on cTnI immunodetection in patients with acute myocardial infarction ...

Troponin T3 regulates nuclear localization of the calcium channel Cavβ1a subunit in skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2015
The voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav) β1a subunit (Cavβ1a) plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC), a process in the myoplasm that leads to muscle-force generation. Recently, we discovered that the Cavβ1a subunit travels to the
