Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the role of cardiac troponin I(cTnI) in determining the injury of cardiac muscle of the neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).
Methods: The creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB) and cTnI in the serum of 19 neonates with HIE were detected.
Results: The levels of cTnI in the serum of the neonates with HIE were higher than normal neonates and there was marked different among the neonates with light,moderate and severe HIE (
P<0.01).The levels of CK-MB had no significant difference in the serum of the neonates with light,moderate and severe HIE(
P>0.05).
Conclusions: The level of cTnI in serum is of great value in the diagnosis of the myocardial injury of neonates with HIE.
