Journal ArticleDOI
Blunt cardiac injury
TL;DR: In summary, the incidence of BCI following blunt thoracic trauma patients has been reported between 20% and 76%, and no gold standard exists to diagnose BCI.

Cardiac troponins and creatine kinase content of striated muscle in common laboratory animals.

TL;DR: The cardiac troponins are potentially useful serum markers of myocardial damage, with high specificity for myocardia muscle in these common laboratory animals, but Creatine kinase-MB is much less cardiac-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of troponin for the diagnosis of myocardial contusion after blunt chest trauma
Lorna Jackson,Alison Stewart +1 more
TL;DR: A short cut review was carried out to establish the utility of troponin levels in diagnosing myocardial contusion following blunt chest trauma, finding six papers that presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac troponin I: A marker of acute heart rejection in infant and child heart recipients?
TL;DR: Serum cardiac troponin I (cTNI) levels were retrospectively analysed in 25 heart transplant patients and demonstrate that cTNI is a not a sensitive but a specific marker of ACR in children.

TL;DR: The postoperative level of cardiac troponin I could be used as a marker of perioperative myocardial injury caused by ischemia and operative trauma and is not necessarily related to impaired recovery.
