Key result
Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin T were positively correlated with stroke volume (r = 0.65, p < 0.0001) and inversely correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.53, p < 0.0001).
Why the study?
Does serum cTnT level correlate with stroke volume and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with acute stroke?
Cross-Sectional (n=62)
No
Does serum cTnT level correlate with stroke volume and left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with acute stroke?
Effect estimate: r = 0.65
p-value: p=<0.0001
Serum cTnT levels correlate positively with stroke volume and inversely with LVEF, suggesting its utility in evaluating myocardial injury and estimating stroke lesion volume in acute stroke patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
cTnT may signal myocardial injury post-stroke; leaves open its value for lesion prediction or routine use.
Apak et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) (n=62). Elevated serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) vs. Normal cTnT levels was evaluated on Correlation between cTnT levels and stroke volume (r = 0.65, p=<0.0001). Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin T were positively correlated with stroke volume (r = 0.65, p < 0.0001) and inversely correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.53, p < 0.0001).
