Background Cardiomyopathy is noted in up to 40% of infants of diabetic mothers, and the
exact mechanisms responsible for it are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare …

Objective: To establish normal values and determine the impact of congenital or acquired
heart disease on serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Methods: Concentrations of cTnI were …

Objective: We sought to determine cardiac troponin T concentrations in umbilical cord
plasma from normal and complicated pregnancies. Study Design: At the time of delivery …

BACKGROUND: Subclinical myocardial injury has been reported in newborns with fetal
weights< 2 SDs for gestational age. Intrauterine growth restriction might affect cardiac …

Objective To study the usefulness of cardiac enzymes in evaluating myocardial damage in
perinatal asphyxia. Methods Thirty term babies with perinatal asphyxia and without any …

Introduction: The vulnerability of pediatric myocardium to ischemia is poorly documented in
the clinical setting. Methods: Serial measurements of serum concentrations of myoglobin …

Background Troponin I, myoglobin, and creatine kinase-MB mass (CK-MB) are biomarkers
of cardiomyocyte injury widely used in the management of adult patients. The role of these …

Perinatal asphyxia is a clinical condition which results from oxygen deprivation of the fetus
or newborn and the breakdown of perfusion in various organs. The aim of this study was to …

Troponin‐T (cTnT) as a marker of myocardial damage is well established in adults, but not
yet in children. cTnT was measured in 85 children (aged 1 day‐204 months, mean 46 …

Prolonged perinatal asphyxia and subsequent severe hypoxia are the main causes of
mortality in neonatal dogs in the first days of life. In medicine, specific cardiac biochemical …
