Ability of troponin T to predict angiographic coronary artery disease in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Association between angiographic coronary artery disease and cardiac troponin T levels has been observed in patients with normal kidney function; however, this association remains unsettled in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Over a 12-month period we retrospectively reviewed coronary angiograms (CAs) performed in 194 hospitalized patients with presumed acute myocardial injury. About 50% of the ESRD and 30% of the CKD patients had normal CAs. Troponin T levels significantly correlated with CAs in patients with normal kidney function (r = 0.4, p = 0.005) but not in ESRD and CKD patients (r = 0.2, p = NS, respectively).

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
