Current Problems in Cardiology RSS feed: Current Issue. For more than 30 years, Current Problems in Cardiology has provided focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. In most monthly issues, authors address a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation. Other issues explore the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research. http://www.cpcardiology.com/?rss=yesElsevier Inc.en © 2012 Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

It is a pivotal diagnostic step in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. However, there are problems: (1) many other clinical situations are associated with elevated troponins; and (2) normal athletes.ForewordShahbudin H.

It is highly specific for the heart and much more sensitive than prior biomarkers. Because of this increased sensitivity, clinicians have had to struggle with elevations in novel clinical situations. We have developed new understandings about coronary artery disease but also have begun to appreciate that many other entities as well can result in cardiac injury. As assays have increased in sensitivity over time, this trend has, if anything, accelerated. This review attempts to put the past, the present, and the future into a clinical perspective that will help clinicians. Troponin—Past, Present, and FutureAllan S.
