  2. Troponin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin

    Elevated troponin levels are prognostically important in many of the conditions in which they are used for diagnosis. [36] In a community-based cohort study indicating the importance of silent cardiac damage, troponin I has been shown to predict mortality and first coronary heart disease event in men free from cardiovascular disease at baseline ...

  3. Troponin I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin_I

    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]

  4. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Test 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.

  5. Troponin T - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troponin_t

    Troponin T binds to tropomyosin and helps position it on actin, [2] and together with the rest of the troponin complex, modulates contraction of striated muscle. [3] The cardiac subtype of troponin T is especially useful in the laboratory diagnosis of heart attack because it is released into the blood-stream when damage to heart muscle occurs. [4]

  6. Pre-eclampsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-eclampsia

    Pre-eclampsia is a multi-system disorder specific to pregnancy, characterized by the new onset of high blood pressure and often a significant amount of protein in the urine or by the new onset of high blood pressure along with significant end-organ damage, with or without the proteinuria.

  7. Hypercoagulability in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hypercoagulability_in_pregnancy

    Treatment is tailored to the particular individual based on her risk of complications. Warfarin and other vitamin K-inhibiting agents are contraindicated during the first trimester of pregnancy because of the teratogenic effects, [16] and should not be administered when the pregnancy is confirmed. [13]

    [2] [5] [4] [13] [14] However, the aPTT-based APC resistance test is much less sensitive to the procoagulatory effects of estrogens than is the ETP-based test. [13] [14] [5] [4] [2] [15] Pregnancy [7] and ethinylestradiol (EE)-containing combined birth control pills increase APC resistance as measured by either the aPTT- or ETP-based test.
