Cardiac troponin T in serum as marker for myocardial injury in newborns.
In neonates, acute perinatal asphyxia may lead to ischemic myocardial damage [1]. In some cases, subendocardial infarction has been documented [2]. Generally, diagnosis of the myocardial injury (MI) is based on clinical findings, suggestive electrocardiographic and echocardiographic patterns [3], decrease in myocardial uptake of thallium [4], and classical creatine kinase (CK)-MB isoenzyme meas...
متن کاملCardiac troponin I. A marker with high specificity for cardiac injury.
BACKGROUND Levels of MBCK can be increased in patients with skeletal muscle injury or renal failure in the absence of myocardial injury, causing diagnostic confusion. This study was designed to determine whether measurement of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a myocardial regulatory protein with comparable sensitivity to MBCK, has sufficient specificity to clarify the etiology of MBCK elevations in p...
متن کاملCardiac troponin I after external electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation as a marker of myocardial injury--a preliminary report.
BACKGROUND It is uncertain whether external electrical cardioversion (CV) of atrial fibrillation (AF) can cause myocardial injury identifiable by troponin I (cTnI). AIM To examine whether external CV of AF can cause cTnI rise as measured with high-sensitivity assay, and to identify factors determining this elevation. METHODS Patients with non-valvular AF selected for CV were included. Exclu...
متن کاملCardiac troponin-I accurately predicts myocardial injury in renal failure.
BACKGROUND Non-specific elevations of creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin-T may be seen in renal failure, confusing the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I) has been shown to be specific for myocardial damage in several disease states, but has not been prospectively evaluated in the setting of renal failure. METHODS This prospective case series ev...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is more helpful in detecting peri-operative myocardial injury and apoptosis during coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
AIM To determine whether there is a correlation between cardiac markers and peri-operative myocardial injury (PMI) and apoptosis in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and to compare the efficacy of cardiac markers to detect PMI. METHODS The study population consisted of 37 patients (24 male, 13 female, mean age 63.4 ± 8.9 years) undergoing elective CABG. Arterial and coronary sinus b...
