This study examined the range of cTnT and NTpBNP in preterm infants, correlate NTpBNP and cTnT with echocardiographic markers of cardiac function and assess the influence of antenatal and postnatal factors on these biochemical markers
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular compromise is increasingly recognized in preterm infants. Currently, echocardiography is the best tool to assess myocardial contractility and guide management. Elevated levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal-pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NTpBNP) are associated with poor myocardial contractility and low cardiac output in adults. OBJECTIVE: To more...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of patent ductus arteriosus on the myocardium by measuring levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT), as a marker of ischemic myocardial damage.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) on the myocardium by measuring levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT), a marker of ischemic myocardial damage. STUDY DESIGN: Eighty infants with a median gestation of 28 weeks (interquartile range ([IQR] = 26.1 to 29.5 weeks) and median birth weight of 1.06 kg (IQR = 0.87 to 1.21 kg) underwent echocardiographic and cTnT more...
