The 99th percentile cutoff for cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is 0.01 ng/mL. [5] The reference range for the high sensitivity troponin T is a normal < 14 ng/L, borderline of 14-52 ng/L, and elevated of >52 ng/L. [6]
[27] [28] [29] High troponin T levels have also been reported in patients with inflammatory muscle diseases such as polymyositis or dermatomyositis. [30] [31] Troponins are also increased in rhabdomyolysis. In hypertensive disorders of pregnancy such as preeclampsia, elevated troponin levels indicate some degree of myofibrillary damage. [32] [33]
Sensitivity and specificity Approximate peak Description Troponin test: The most sensitive and specific test for myocardial damage. Because it has increased specificity compared with CK-MB, troponin is composed of 3 proteins- Troponin C, Cardic troponin I, and Cardiac troponin T. Troponin I especially has a high affinity for myocardial injury ...
Cardiac troponin T (low sensitive) 0.1 [7] ng/mL: 99th percentile cutoff: Cardiac troponin I (high sensitive) 0.03 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: Cardiac troponin T (high sensitive) Male 0.022 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: Female 0.014 [7] ng/mL 99th percentile cutoff: newborn/infants not established more than adults [60] [61]
Troponin I is a biomarker that responds to treatment interventions. Reductions in troponin I levels proved to reduce the risk of future CVD. [23] [24] [25] High sensitive troponin I used as a screening tool to assess a person's cardiovascular risk and has the potential to reduce the growing cost burden of the healthcare system. [26]
The average age for perimenopause in the U.S. is around 47 years old, and while the average duration of perimenopause is four years, it can range from eight to 10, according to the Cleveland ...
The level of the troponin, as well as a change over time, are useful in measuring and diagnosing or excluding myocardial infarctions, and the diagnostic accuracy of troponin testing is improving over time. [72] One high-sensitivity cardiac troponin can rule out a heart attack as long as the ECG is normal. [83] [84]
Its flexible pressure-sensitive antenna provides over 95% accuracy in monitoring sleep activities, making it especially beneficial for elderly users, medical care settings and families with infants.
