Cardiac Troponin T Measurement in very Low Birth Weight Preterm Infants

Abstract
Abstract
Background: PDA is the most common cardiovascular abnormality in preterm neonates. Left to right shunting across the PDA is associated with congestive heart failure and increased ventilatory dependence. Echocardiography remain the gold standard for diagnosing PDA. cTnT is a marker of cardiac injury.
Aim: to assess the rule of cTnT as a marker of cardiac injury in VLBW infants with clinically significant PDA and its relation to echocardiographic findings and clinical outcome.
