Apparently healthy children often complain of chest pain, especially after physical exercise.
Cardiac biomarker levels are often measured, but the clinical relevance of these assays in …

Neonatal heart failure (HF) is a progressive disease caused by cardiovascular and non-
cardiovascular abnormalities. The most common cause of neonatal HF is structural …

Despite the important advances in perinatal care in the past decades, asphyxia remains a
severe condition leading to significant mortality and morbidity. Perinatal asphyxia has an …

Neonates with a perinatal hypoxic event and subsequent neonatal encephalopathy are at
risk of developing acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH) in the early neonatal a Division of …

Objectives. Hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury due to perinatal asphyxia is an important cause
of neonatal mortality and morbidity. To predict who will survive or die due to this disorder still …

Abstract Background: Cardiac troponins T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) are well-established markers
in detecting myocardial ischemic damage in adults. Perinatal asphyxia is associated with …

Purpose The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the differences between selected
biochemical markers in infants with moderate or severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy …

Aim: Myocardial dysfunction is a frequent sequel of perinatal asphyxia. Cardiac troponin I
(cTnI) is a marker of myocardial injury and a surrogate marker of myocardial dysfunction in …

Objective: To investigate whether creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI)
can be used to predict neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 months in infants with perinatal …

Cardiac biomarkers are used to identify cardiac disease in term and preterm infants. This
review discusses the roles of natriuretic peptides and cardiac troponins. Natriuretic peptide …
