BACKGROUND Perinatal asphyxia is associated with cardiac dysfunction. This may be
secondary to myocardial ischaemia. Cardiac troponin T is the ideal marker for myocardial …

Objectives: The aims of this study were to (a) establish a reference range for cardiac
troponin I (cTnI) in the cord blood of healthy infants, and (b) investigate the effect of Apgar …

Aims: To measure and compare cardiac troponin I, cardiac troponin T and creatine kinase
MB concentrations in the umbilical cord blood of healthy term infants and to investigate the …

Troponin T (TnT) is recently being considered to be an important diagnostic marker of
myocardial damage in adults, but this marker has not yet been used in neonates. The …

Aims: To establish a practical postnatal reference range for cardiac troponin T in neonates
and to investigate concentrations in neonates with respiratory distress. Methods: Prospective …

In this prospective cohort study of healthy full-term infants, we hypothesized that high-
sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) would be elevated in cord blood, compared with …

Abstract Background: Cardiac troponins T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) are well-established markers
in detecting myocardial ischemic damage in adults. Perinatal asphyxia is associated with …

Abstract Background: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) has been proposed as specific biochemical
marker for myocardial infarction in adults. Cardiac function in neonates could be influenced …

Background: In most perinatal-hypoxia survivors, myocardial dysfunction can be reversed
with appropriate inotropic support and oxygenation. The main problem related to outcome is …

Aim: To assess the correlation of echocardiographic signs of myocardial damage to serum
cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentrations in newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia …
