Troponin‐T levels in perinatally asphyxiated infants during the first 15 days of life

Abstract

Our results suggest that asphyxia-related cardiac changes were significant but reversible in severely asphyxiated neonates, and troponin T is a good determinant of the degree of injury to the heart within the first week of life. Cardiac troponin T also has a wider diagnostic frame than other diagnostic markers of myocardial damage.
