May indicate myocardial injury in symptomatic infants of diabetic mothers; leaves open whether troponin monitoring improves outcomes.
Observational (n=55)
Are cardiac troponin-I levels elevated in infants of diabetic mothers compared to healthy controls?
Cardiac troponin-I is significantly elevated in symptomatic infants of diabetic mothers with severe distress, indicating cardiomyocyte injury.
Oran et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Infants of diabetic mothers (n=55). Cardiac troponin-I and creatine kinase measurement vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Differences in cardiac troponin-I and creatine kinase levels. Cardiac troponin-I levels were significantly elevated in symptomatic infants of diabetic mothers with life-threatening respiratory or haemodynamic distress.
