OBJECTIVE: The study was performed to investigate the level of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a specific marker for myocardial cell damage, in the acute rheumatic carditis (RC). METHODS: Twenty seven consecutive patients with acute RC and 23 healthy children were enrolled. RESULT: cTnI level in both groups showed no statistical difference (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Serum cTnI level did not gain clinical use.
