The rate of cardiac injury as determined by cTnI in this study was 19%. In trying to identify any factors that may contribute to an overestimation of cardiac injury, we consider the use of cTnI ...
The mean age was 67years (range 19–96). There were 104 (67%) male patients. A troponin level of greater than 0.5μg/L was found in 30/156 (19%); 126 (81%) patients had normal troponin levels.
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 ...
