Cardiac Tn I Induces Severe Autoimmune Inflammation in the Myocardium

Ziya Kaya, MD and colleagues from Department of Internal Medicine III, Cardiology, University of Heidelberg, Germany took animal model experiment to study the effects on production of troponin-specific autoantibodies, cross-reactivity of autoantibodies, troponin-specific cellular response, inflammation, and expression of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, fibrosis, heart function, ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial remodeling, and survival of the animals

Relationship between low lymphocyte count and major cardiac events in patients with acute chest pain, a non-diagnostic electrocardiogram and normal troponin levels.

OBJECTIVE: Risk stratification of patients with acute chest pain, non-diagnostic electrocardiogram and normal troponin (ACPneg) remains a challenge, partly because no standardized set of biomarkers with prognostic ability has been identified in this population. Lymphopenia has been associated with atherosclerosis progression and adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases; although its prognostic value in ACPneg is unknown.We [...]

Prognostic significance of small troponin I rise after a successful elective percutaneous coronary intervention of a native artery.

Cardiac troponin I is a sensitive marker of myonecrosis. Data regarding the prognostic value of troponin I increase after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are conflicting. A recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association statement defined a troponin I increase >3 times the 99th percentile as periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to evaluate whether or [...]
