OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between umbilical cord cardiac troponin I (cTnI),
obstetric Doppler, and birth acidemia. Method: This prospective observational study was …

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

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of intrapartum
cardiotocography in identifying fetal acidemia by umbilical cord blood analysis in low-risk …

Background: The purpose of intra-partum fetal monitoring is to identify early signs of
developing hypoxia. Electronic fetal monitoring is performed using cardiotocograph, which is …

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that severe placental insufficiency
and a rise in fetal systemic venous pressure are associated with fetal myocardial cell …

Background Placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction may lead to fetal hypoxia and
acidemia, which result in fetal cardiac injury. Objective The goal of this study was to compare …
