Is preference of lethal methods the only cause for higher suicide rates in males?
The sample size (n=3235) was not enough for comparing method and gender specific case fatalities with a fine-meshed stratification regarding age.
Our data demonstrate that more than one-third of patients clinically diagnosed as having pulmonary embolism presented with elevated serum troponin I concentrations. Troponin I tests helped to identify patients with RV dilatation who had significantly more segmental defects in lung scans. Thus, troponin I assays are useful to detect minor myocardial damage in pulmonary embolism.
