Can plasma cTnI concentration identify cardiac involvement in dogs with hemangiosarcoma or pericardial effusion?
Plasma cTnI concentration may be a useful biomarker to identify cardiac involvement in dogs with hemangiosarcoma and to differentiate cardiac hemangiosarcoma in dogs presenting with pericardial effusion.
Chun et al. (2010) studied this question.
