Cardiac troponin T as early marker of subclinical cardiovascular deterioration in black hypertensive women

Kruger, R.; Schutte, A.E.; Mels, C.M.C.; Smith, W.; Van Rooyen, J.M.; Kruger, I.M.; Fourie, C.M.T. (Elsevier, 2017)

Background Hypertensive heart disease is a rising concern, especially among black South African women. As high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a marker of cardiomyocyte damage, we determined the potential link ...
Chronic defensiveness and neuroendocrine dysfunction reflect a novel cardiac troponin T cut point: the SABPA study

Malan, Leoné; Hamer, Mark; Von Känel, Roland; Steyn, Hendrik S.; Malan, Nicolaas T. (Elsevier, 2017)

Background Sympatho-adrenal responses are activated as an innate defense coping (DefS) mechanism during emotional stress. Whether these sympatho-adrenal responses drive cardiac troponin T (cTnT) increases are unknown. ...
Ethnicity-specific changes in cardiac troponin t in response to acute mental stress and ethnicity-specific cutpoints for the R wave of the aVL lead: the SABPA study

Wentzel, Annemarie; Malan, Leoné; Von Känel, Roland; Malan, Nicolaas T. (Oxford Univ Press, 2019)

Acute mental stressor–induced cardiac stress responses might contribute to excessive myocardial strain and resultant cardiovascular episode risk. We assessed ethnicity-specific acute cardiac stress (by measuring cardiac ...
