Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last decade, cardiac troponin (cTn) assays have allowed for a relevant improvement in the detection of myocardial infarction (MI), leading to the timely and more effective management of these patients, particularly when affected by MI without ST-segment elevation. However, cTn is not specific for ischemic heart disease and can be potentially released in various cardiac and non-cardiac diseases. cTn, indeed, is solely a marker of myocardial injury, which is defined as a rise and/or fall in cTn in the absence of signs and symptoms of MI, which has been defined in the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. In this setting, new technologies, in the field of echocardiography, may be of particular value in distinguishing between ischemic and non-ischemic sources of cTn rise. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the clinical advances related to myocardial injury, providing useful insights to differentiate between ischemic and non-ischemic causes of increase in cTn.
