Troponin is a marker that displays cardiac injury quickly and accurately. In adults, troponin
elevation is usually associated with coronary artery disease and requires urgent cardiac …

ObjectiveAt the present time, there is a trend towards performing open heart surgery at a
younger age. Myocardium of infants has been thought to be more vulnerable to …

Perinatal asphyxia has a high impact on neonatal mortality, morbidity, and neurological
outcome. The hypoxic effects on brain, kidney and gastrointestinal system are well …

Objective Most neonatal encephalopathic disorders appear to be caused by perinatal
events. Persistent myocardial ischemia leads to cellular necrosis and release of troponin …

Cardiac troponin T determination plays a dominant role in diagnosis of myocardial
pathologies. Despite generally accepted use of high-sensitive cardiac troponin T assays …

Background: Cardiovascular compromise is increasingly recognized in preterm infants.
Currently, echocardiography is the best tool to assess myocardial contractility and guide …

Introduction: In the last few years the use of cardiac troponin I and T, as diagnostic and
prognostic factors of ischemic myocardial injury both in adult and neonatal medicine has …

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to assess the usefulness of routine monitoring of
cardiac troponin I concentrations within 24 hours of surgery (cTn-I< 24h) in neonates and …

Aim Troponin is a sensitive marker of asphyxia in term infants mirroring the myocardial injury
sustained in global hypoxia‐ischaemia. In addition, troponin is a sensitive marker of severity …

Abstract Background The American Heart Association, the European Resuscitation and the
International Liaison Committee issued new neonatal resuscitation guidelines (2010) where …
