1. 1. Release and Clearance Mechanisms of Cardiac Troponin

   Författare :Karin Starnberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomarkers; cardiac; Troponin;

   Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction (MI) is often suspected when a patient presents with chest pain. MI is defined as cardiac necrosis due to ischemia, most often mediated through impaired coronary perfusion. Cardiac necrosis results in the release of myoglobin, creatine kinase and cardiac troponin (cTn) to the circulation. LÄS MER

3. 2. Assessment of patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome : the use of high sensitive cardiac troponin T and a risk score

   Författare :Dina Melki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :troponin;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome with regard to early diagnosis and prognosis by the use of high sensitive cardiac troponin T and a risk score: a low-risk group in which admission and further investigations may not be necessary. In paper I, the early diagnostic value of high sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) was compared with conventional cardiac troponin assays in 233 patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

4. 3. Cardiac troponin T in clinical and experimental studies

   Författare :Christian Löwbeer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The cardiac troponin T (cTnT) assay became commercially available in the 1990s, and together with cardiac troponin I (cTnI), cTnT is today the marker of choice for the detection of myocardial infarction. However, when the cTnT assay was introduced it was insufficiently evaluated in two important fields: in patients with renal disease and in experimental cardiovascular research. LÄS MER

5. 4. Stable high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels and outcomes

   Författare :Andreas Roos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Many patients who seek medical attention because of chest pain in the emergency department (ED), without myocardial infarction (MI) as a final diagnosis, will have cardiac troponin (cTn) levels above the upper normal limit when measured with the high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay. In patients with acute medical diseases other than MI which may affect hs-cTn levels, treatment strategies focus on underlying conditions. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Obesity and related complications such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular events, are a growing major health problem worldwide. Achieving a negative energy balance by increasing physical activity in combination with reduced caloric intake, is the most common approach in weight reduction strategies, something that is difficult to maintain in the long term.
