Background— Patients with severe renal dysfunction often have unexplained elevated serum
concentrations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT). We investigated whether in vivo fragmentation …

Fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) is a newly introduced plasma marker of acute myocardial
infarction (AMI). The plasma kinetics of FABP (15 kD) closely resemble those of myoglobin (…

Background— Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by extensive transmural
inflammation and C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an independent risk factor for …

Objectives : This study sought to compare the renal clearance mechanisms of B-type
natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). …

BACKGROUND--There are substantial amounts of cytoplasmic heart-type fatty-acid-binding
protein (FABP) (15 kDa) in myocardial tissue. The rapid release of FABP into plasma during …

Objective— This study explored the relationship between coronary atherosclerotic plaque
burden and quantifiable circulating levels of troponin measured with a recently introduced …

Background. Inflammation, overhydration and elevated cardiac biomarkers are related to
outcome in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Here, we explored the relationship between the body …

BACKGROUND: Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has proven to be an independent marker
of the extent of atherosclerosis in patients with coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral …
