Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Cardiac troponins T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) are the most sensitive biochemical parameters in the detection of myocardial damage. In neonates, in utero exposure to tocolytic therapy results in detectable values of cardiac troponins after delivery. Additionally, some preliminary results suggest that the upper reference limits for healthy newborns are higher than those for adults but definitive reference limits for newborns are not available. Our objective was to determine those limits. DES...     »
