Key result
Elevated baseline hsTnT in acute ischemic stroke was associated with higher NIHSS, creatinine, ST segment depression, and inverted T waves, but not with stroke location or size.
Why the study?
Differential diagnosis of elevated hsTnT in acute ischemic stroke includes myocardial infarction and neurogenic stunned myocardium, prompting identification of factors associated with baseline hsTnT levels and these conditions.

May prompt cardiac evaluation in acute stroke; leaves open mechanisms linking hsTnT to severity versus comorbidities.
Liesirova et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Acute ischemic stroke (n=204). Elevated baseline high-sensitive Troponin T (hsTnT) vs. Normal hsTnT was evaluated on Association with baseline Creatinine (OR 6.735, 95% CI 58.734-107.423, p=<0.001). Elevated baseline hsTnT in acute ischemic stroke was associated with higher NIHSS, creatinine, ST segment depression, and inverted T waves, but not with stroke location or size.
