Non-cardiac Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of Hospitalization on High-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Concentrations Depending on Disease Severity (Inpatient Troponin T)
We aim to examine, whether hospitalization is associated with higher high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) serum concentrations in patients without a cardiac disease.
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) values will be obtained in hospitalized patients a) without a diagnosed or suspected cardiac disease, and b) with an acute medical condition that is not commonly associated with an increase of hs-cTnT concentrations. As a reference, a second sampling of blood for an analysis of the hs-cTnT serum concentration will be obtained in the same patients after discharge (60 days after hospitalization). ;
