Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac-Specific Troponin I Levels to Predict the Risk of Mortality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes
Elliott M. Antman,Milenko J. Tanasijevic,Bruce Thompson,Mark Schactman,Carolyn H. McCabe,Christopher P. Cannon,George A. Fischer,Anthony Fung,Christopher R. Thompson,Donald R. Wybenga,Eugene Braunwald +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with acute coronary syndromes, cardiac troponin I levels provide useful prognostic information and permit the early identification of patients with an increased risk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myoglobin, creatine-kinase-MB and cardiac troponin-I 60-minute ratios predict infarct-related artery patency after thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction: results from the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction study (TIMI) 10B.
Milenko J. Tanasijevic,Christopher P. Cannon,Elliott M. Antman,Donald R. Wybenga,George A. Fischer,Christine Grudzien,C. Michael Gibson,James W. Winkelman,Eugene Braunwald +8 more
TL;DR: Serum marker determinations at baseline and 60-min after thrombolysis may permit rapid triage of patients receiving thromBOlytic therapy by ruling out IRA occlusion and early invasive interventions to establish IRA patency may not be necessary in this group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myoglobin, creatine kinase MB, and cardiac troponin-I to assess reperfusion after thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction: Results from TIMI 10A
Milenko J. Tanasijevic,Christopher P. Cannon,Donald R. Wybenga,George A. Fischer,Christine Grudzien,C. Michael Gibson,James W. Winkelman,Elliott M. Antman,Eugene Braunwald +8 more
TL;DR: Noninvasive diagnosis of occlusion 60 minutes after thrombolysis was achieved with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity with the myoglobin, CK-MB, and cTnI concentrations measured at that time point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmation of the Department of Transportation criteria for a substituted urine specimen.
TL;DR: Data in patients with various pathologic states support the belief that normal individuals do not produce urine dilute enough to meet the lower limit of the specific gravity and creatinine required for meeting substituted specimen criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybritech total and free prostate-specific antigen assays developed for the Beckman Coulter access automated chemiluminescent immunoassay system: a multicenter evaluation of analytical performance.
Robert Laffin,Daniel W. Chan,Milenko J. Tanasijevic,George A. Fischer,Wayne Markus,Joan H. Miller,Pat Matarrese,Lori J. Sokoll,Debra J. Bruzek,Julie Eneman,Janice M. Nelson,Kurtis R. Bray,Jay Huang,Kathleen G. Loveland +13 more
TL;DR: Proficiency of the Access instruments and operators was demonstrated by assaying an identical panel of 18 human samples and calibration of individual instruments and accurate sample recovery from stored calibration curves were verified.
