Although there is now sufficient evidence of the value of these determinations in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, mechanisms of their release have not been considered in depth. We summarize the importance of these mechanisms with emphasis on their relation to prognosis, stratification, and treatment of COVID-19 patients. Apart from frank necrotic cell death, there are other mechanisms of myocyte injury leading to membrane fragility that provoke release of cTnT and cTnI. We discuss a rationale for understanding these mechanisms in COVID-19 patients with co-morbidities associated with myocyte injury such as heart failure, hypertension, arrythmias, diabetes, and inflammation. We describe how understanding these significant aspects of these mechanisms in the promotion of angiotensin signaling by SARS-CoV-2 can affect treatment options in the context of individualized therapies. Moreover, with likely omic data related to serum troponins and with the identification of elevations of serum troponins now more broadly detected employing high sensitivity antibodies, we think it is important to consider molecular mechanisms of elevations in serum troponin as an element in clinical decisions and as a critical aspect of development of new therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":93449,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cardiology and cardiovascular diseases","volume":"1 2","pages":"41-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8562719/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39842278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, assessing molecular structures within large cells and in the context of human organ anatomy has been challenging because it requires penetration of staining reagents and light deep into opaque tissues, while also conforming to the spatial constraints of high-resolution objective lenses. This methodology article describes optimized sample preparation for sub-micron resolution 3D imaging in human and rodent tissues, yielding imaging depth (>100 µm) and resolution (<0.012 µm3 voxel size) that has previously been limited to whole-mount in vitro organoid systems, embryos, and small model organisms. Confocal images of adult human and rodent organs, including heart, kidney, and liver, were generated for several chemical and antibody stains in cleared tissue sections >100 µm thick. This method can be readily adopted by any lab performing routine histology and takes 3 days from the start of tissue preparation to 3D images.","PeriodicalId":93449,"journal":{"name":"International journal of cardiology and cardiovascular diseases","volume":"6 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91078151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
