Abstract:
Poor outcomes of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can be the result of the initial catastrophic event or the many acute or delayed neurological complications. Recent evidence suggests that some molecules play a critical role in both events, through some unknown pathways involved. Understanding the role of these molecules in these events could allow to improve diagnostic accuracy, guide management, and prevent long-term disability in aSAH. Here we present the studies on aSAH biomarkers present in current medical literature, highlighting their roles and main results.

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
