Rising Cardiac Troponin: A Prognostic Biomarker for Mortality After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Rising Cardiac Troponin: A Prognostic Biomarker for Mortality After Acute Ischemic Stroke

Background Elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) is detected in 10% to 30% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and correlates with poor functional outcomes. Serial cTn measurements differentiate a dynamic cTn pattern (rise/fall >20%), specific for acute myocardial injury, from elevated but sta...
