Canola and regular rapeseed oils are extracted from the seeds of several of the brassica plants - the same family of plants from which we get vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, kale, mustard greens, and several other vegetables.
Cardiac troponins are elevated in 85% of patients with sepsis in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. Small studies have shown that elevated troponin levels identify patients with sepsis who are at increased risk of mortality.
Cardiac isoforms of troponin are specific for the heart. Elevated troponin levels indicate cardiac injury but do not define the mechanism. In patients with acute coronary ischemia and elevated troponin levels, myocardial infarction should be diagnosed; treatment should be guided by the elevated troponin levels.
