Age Alters Diagnostic Performance of Cardiac Troponin
The guideline-recommended thresholds for increased high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), indicating myocardial injury and potential infarction, performed at a similar sensitivity around 80% in people across age groups. More...20 Sep 2022
Low Testosterone Levels Tied to More Severe COVID in Men
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacted a heavy toll on public health. Male sex is associated with severe COVID-19. It is not known whether the risk of hospitalization differs between men with hypogonadism, men with eugonadism, and those receiving testosterone therapy (TTh). More...12 Sep 2022
Osteopontin and Osteoprotegerin Investigated In Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the many complications of systemic atherosclerosis and it is accompanied by high rates of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) morbidity and mortality. PAD is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. More...08 Sep 2022
Total Plasma Homocysteine Methods Evaluated
Homocysteine (HCY) is occasionally requested as a prognostic risk factor in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Homocysteine is an intermediary amino acid formed in methionine metabolism, with elevated total homocysteine (tHCY) is a biomarker of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. More...15 Aug 2022
Lipid Cutoffs Identified for CVD Risk in Young Adults Without Diabetes
The underlying pathogenesis and progression associated with nearly all cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are predominantly of atherosclerotic origin that leads to the development of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, venous thromboembolism and, peripheral vascular disease, subsequently causing myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrhythmias or stroke.
