It is unknown whether the occurrence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at a younger age is associated with differences in myocardial damage compared with older patients. We aimed to compare…
Novel high-sensitivity assay can detect very low levels of circulating cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT) in apparently healthy subjects. Within normal range, higher levels are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and…
Patients with severe mental illness (SMI), including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are at elevated risk of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) but have previously been reported as less likely to receive…
