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.
In a healthy individual, troponin is not detectable in the blood. Increased levels of troponin indicate damage to the heart; as a general rule, the bigger the increase, the more damage has been done. If the results show a large increase in troponin levels, it is very likely that the patient has had a heart attack.
