Serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ and lactic acid in neonatal patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Serum Cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTn Ⅰ) and lactic acid were measured in 128 neonatal patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and 38 healthy neonates (control group). Serum cTn Ⅰ and lactic acid levels were higher in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy than those in healthy neonates (P < 0. 05 ); and the differences of these values were also statistically significant between the serious patients and the mild patients (P<0.05). Serum cTn Ⅰ and lactic acid are two sensitive markers for degree of myocardial injury and hypoxia in neonatal patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
