Elevated troponin levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke: pathophysiological mechanism and clinical significance / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) often have myocardial damage.Cardiactroponin (cTn) is a sensitive and specific marker of myocardial necrosis,and its level increases significantly in myocardial injury.The related literatures report that the elevated cTn can also be observed in patients with AIS.This article reviews the pathophysiological mechanism and clinical significance of the elevated cTn after
