May flag myocardial stress in neonatal respiratory distress; hypothesis-generating for cord troponin T as biomarker, needs prospective validation.
Is elevated cardiac troponin T in cord blood associated with respiratory distress in neonates?
Cardiac troponin T levels in cord blood are elevated in infants with respiratory distress, suggesting its potential utility as a marker for neonatal myocardial damage.
Clark et al. (2001) studied this question.
