ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of cardiac troponin T(cTnT) in detecting myocardial damage in neonatal asphyxia and to compare the diagnostic value of cTnT with creatine kinase MB(CK-MB). METHODS: Sixty-three neonates were enrolled in this study, consisting of 27 asphyxiated infants(asphyxiated group; 1-min or 5-min Apgar score0.05), whereas CK-MB in group II it was higher than in group I (P0.2 microgram/L). Ten of them(83%) had a tricuspid insufficiency of moderate or severe degree. CONCLUSION: cTnT is a more heart-specific serodiagnostic marker than other markers in asphyxiated neonates with suspected myocardial damage.
