Objective: Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are at risk for premature death from
cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction and stroke), hypertension, and diabetes in …

Cardiac troponins can be useful in monitoring cardiac injury following perinatal distress. We
report here an increase of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) to 2.84 μg/l at 3 weeks (age-related …

Myocardial damage in infancy is a risk factor for eventual cardiac disease. Given that
myocardial stress is greatest during the perinatal period and that the neonatal period is …

Aim: To measure serial cardiac troponin‐T, creatine kinase, creatine kinase‐MB, aspartate
aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase levels in …

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

Background Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a well-established marker for detecting myocardial
ischemic damage in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. However, the …

Objective: Neonates produce predominantly skeletal muscle troponin I (TnI) in the
myocardium; however, in asphyxiated neonates, high levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) have …

Background: Perinatal asphyxia constitutes a significant problem influencing neonatal
mortality and morbidity. Objectives: The aim of the present work was to provide evidence of …

The measurement of myocardial damage by newer, highly specific markers of myocardial
damage is now possible, including cardiac structural proteins such as troponin T (TnT). In …

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 …
