    [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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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]

  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 ...

    [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. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 15 ] EE-containing birth control pills show different degrees of influence on the ETP-based test depending on the progestin , which may be due to ...
