Troponin T may support retrospective diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia and heart failure; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Do myocardial hypoxia markers and serum creatinine help in the retrospective diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia and posthypoxic heart failure in neonates?
Troponin T is a sensitive marker for the retrospective diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia and the identification of posthypoxic cardiocirculatory failure in neonates.
