Coronary artery disease: New troponin T test allows prediction of CV events in patients with stable CAD
Sun, 2010-03-14 21:00 — sciencestaff
The current lower limit for detection of plasma troponin T in most commercially available tests is approximately 0.01 μg/l, and levels higher than this value are associated with increased mortality. However, even small elevations in cardiac troponins are linked to recurrent coronary ischemic events in patients

- The Y Chromosome May Explain Why Men Have Earlier Coronary Disease
The earlier onset of coronary artery disease in men has long provoked speculation and research. Now a new study in the Lancet suggests that common variations in the Y chromosome (which is transmitted directly from father to son and does not undergo recombination) may play an important role in the increased risk seen in men. - Heart Disease Risk Gene May Pass From Dads to Sons
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- An increased risk for coronary artery disease can be passed genetically from father to son on the male Y chromosome, a new study says. - Link between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer
In a large analysis of men participating in a prostate drug trial, researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute found a significant correlation between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer, suggesting the two conditions may have shared causes. - Inheritance of coronary artery disease in men: an analysis of the role of the Y chromosome : The Lancet

We explored the role of the Y chromosome in coronary artery disease in the context of this sexual inequity. - Y Chromosome Can Raise Heart Disease Risk by 50 Percent
Men tend to get coronary artery disease much earlier than do women.
