Introduction: The study aimed to evaluate the differences in secretion of NT-proBNP and cardiac troponin T (cTnT), in patients with NSTE-ACS for the early detection of myocardial ischemia in NSTE-ACS.Methods: Hundred and sixteen patients admitted for non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS), 71(61.2%) men, mean age 68.7±10.2 were prospectively investigated. Plasma NT-proBNP and cTnT were measured by electrochemiluminescence (Elecsys/Cobas e, Roche Diagnostic...

Background: Atrial fibrillation occurs in 515% of hyperthyroid patients. On the other hand, amiodarone is a highly effective antiarrhythmic agent. Despite antiarrhythmic treatment, iodine-induced hyperthyroidism via amiodarone may be associated with recurrence of initial arrhythmias.Aims: To assess if amiodarone maintained its antiarrhythmic efficacy in the presence of amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism (AIT).Patients a...
