Veterinary and toxicological applications for the detection of cardiac injury using cardiac troponin

The Veterinary Journal

Abstract

The use of cardiac troponin (cTn), the 'gold-standard' biomarker of myocardial injury in humans, is growing in veterinary medicine and in animal safety studies, although there are differences in its application in animals. In this study six new assays for the marker were assessed in 619 animals of six different species (dog, cat, horse, cattle, rat and rabbit), in clinical and drug-safety studies. Healthy animals and clinical cases without cardiac disease served as controls. Several of the tested assays had poor analytic or diagnostic sensitivity and only one test was effective in all species and in all models of cardiac injury. This assay had the highest sensitivity and widest dynamic range, and identified cardiac injury due to anaemia, pancreatitis, uncontrolled Addison's and Cushing's disease, old age, renal disease, severe colic, lymphoma and neoplasia. Detection of the cTnI and cTnT forms correlated with loss of cardiac function in toxicity studies in rodents and rabbit. Increased serum cTnI was not found to correlate with disease aetiology or pathogenesis, but was effective in detecting, monitoring and quantifying ongoing cardiac injury. Cardiac injury, as demonstrated by elevated cTnI in blood, appears to be a common seq...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

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.
