ABSTRACT

Objective To study the relationship of MR delayed enhancement with cardiac troponin I in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and to evaluate their values on assessing HCM condition and prognosis.Methods Thirty-five HCM patients who were diagnosed by echocardiography were enrolled.All patients were performed MR scan and cTn Ⅰ test of blood.The relationships of MR delayed enhancement, myocardial hypertrophy and cTn Ⅰ were analyzed.Results(1)DE was found in 25 of total 35 HCM patients(71.4%).19 of 35 HCM patients(54.3%)had abnormal increased eTn Ⅰ value.The medians of cTn Ⅰ in patients with DE and without DE(110,5 ?g/ml,respectively)had statistics significance (P
