Cardiac Troponin I Used in Subclinical Carotid Atherosclerosis

Stefan Hunter

Measurement of cardiac troponin is important within the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome and therefore the advent of high sensitivity (hs-) cardiac troponin assays permits safe and swift diagnosis of acute myocardial infarct. More recently, evidence is amassing for the utilization of cardiac troponin measured with hs-assays in predicting incident disorder like myocardial infarct, coronary failure, fibrillation, and ischaemic stroke.
