Role of Cardiac Troponins in Predicting Adverse Outcomes in Acute Coronary Syndrome With Renal Dysfunction.

A substantial global cause of mortality as well as disability is acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is also widespread knowledge that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) possess greater mortality and cardiovascular disease risks than the rest of the population. A vital biomarker for the diagnosis of AMI is high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT).

Transesophageal Echocardiography vs. Transthoracic Echocardiography for Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Endocarditis.

Infective endocarditis is an infection of the inner layers of the heart, seen often in intravenous drug users and patients with valvular lesions or prosthetic heart valves. This entity has high mortality and morbidity. The most common causative microorganism is .
