Effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardiac biomarkers: Results from the STURDY trial.
Am J Prev Cardiol
December 2024
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objectives: In observational studies, older adults with low serum vitamin D levels are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but randomized trials have failed to demonstrate reduction in CVD risk from vitamin D supplementation, possibly because the doses of vitamin D supplements tested were too low. Our objective was to determine if higher doses of vitamin D supplementation reduce high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTnI) and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), markers of subclinical CVD.
Methods: The Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You (STURDY) was a double-blind, randomized, response-adaptive trial that tested the effects of 4 doses of vitamin D3 supplementation (200, 1000, 2000, 4000 IU/day) on fall risk among older adults with low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations (10-29 ng/mL).
Cardiac myosin binding protein C correlate with cardiac troponin I during an exercise training program in patients with HFrEF.
ESC Heart Fail
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Stavanger University Hospital, Stavanger, Norway.
Background: Cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyC) is an emerging new biomarker of myocardial injury rising earlier and cleared faster than cardiac troponins. It has discriminatory power similar to high-sensitive troponins in diagnosing myocardial infarction in patients presenting with chest pain. It is also associated with outcome in patients with acute heart failure.

J Am Heart Assoc
January 2025
Department of Neurology The Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University Hangzhou Zhejiang China.
Background: Myocardial injury is common after brain injury; however, few studies have reported serial cardiac troponin (cTn) measurements to distinguish whether the myocardial injury is acute or chronic. The fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction introduced for the first time the criteria for acute myocardial injury (AMI). We aimed to investigate the prevalence and prognostic implications of AMI in primary intracerebral hemorrhage.

Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim (Engl Ed)
January 2025
Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos, Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, Sevilla, Spain.
Background And Objective: Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of serum inorganic phosphorus (SIPL) as an indicator of LCOS in the postoperative period.
Materials And Methods: From June 2018 to December 2019, a single-center prospective study was conducted in patients with CHD undergoing surgery who required extracorporeal circulation (ECC).
New biomarkers in scorpion stings.
Toxicon
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG); Interdisciplinary Research Center in Intensive Care Medicine (NIIMI). Electronic address:
Scorpion stings have a fatality rate of 0.16%, with the majority of deaths occurring in children. The resources currently available for diagnosing cardiac dysfunction caused by scorpion stings, the most common cause of death, are echocardiograms and laboratory tests, such as troponin, creatine phosphokinase-MB (CKMB), and Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP).
