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 ...

ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

Troponin I and myocardial injury in the ICU
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a protein that is specific to heart muscle. Increased concentrations appear in serum after myocardial cell injury. cTnI was compared with creatinine kinase MB (CK MB), myoglobin and the 12-lead ECG for detection of myocardial injury in an unselected series of 109 medical and surgical ICU patients.

ABSTRACT Coronary stent fractures (SFs) are an emerging complication of coronary stents. There are numerous risk factors for SF, which include vessel angulation, use of sirolimus‐eluting stent (SES), long stents, multiple stent layers, stent overlap, inflammation, hypersensitivity, stenting in the right coronary artery, heavy calcification, ostial ...

Factors underlying elevated troponin I levels following pacemaker primo-implantation
Background: Cardiac troponins are routinely used as markers of myocardial damage. Originally, they were only intended for use in diagnosing acute coronary syndromes; however, we now know that raised serum troponin levels are not always caused by ischemia.

Development of Optical Biosensor Technologies for Cardiac Troponin Recognition [PDF]
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death among cardiovascular diseases. Among the numerous attempts to develop coronary marker concepts into clinical strategies, cardiac troponin is known as a specific marker for coronary events ...

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

ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery vasospasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication that can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Nitroglycerin‐resistant vasospasm, particularly involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), poses significant diagnostic and ...

The isolation of differentially expressed cDNA clones from the filarial nematode Brugia pahangi [PDF]
A cDNA library constructed from 3 day post-infective L3 of the filarial nematode Brugia pahangi was screened by differential hybridization with cDNA probes prepared from different life-cycle stages.

ABSTRACT Background Up to 50% of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Aims This study aims to assess whether a prothrombotic state of coronary blood, defined by thromboelastography (TEG), is associated with post ...
