This study was carried out to assess the utility of serum troponin-T estimation in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). One hundred and twenty two consecutive patients presenting with Q wave myocardial infarction were included in the study. In patients with AMI, serum troponin-T level was significantly elevated (4.21 +/- 3.49 ng/ml) on the first day of AMI (normal = 0.1 ng/ml). The elevated serum levels were detected even on the second (4.82 +/- 3.01 ng/ml) and the 3rd day (5.83 +/- 3.83 ng/ml) of AMI. Our results thus indicate that serum troponin-T is elevated twenty eight folds on the first day of AMI and the levels remain elevated as long as the third day. Hence, troponin-T can be used as sensitive biochemical marker of AMI, both in the immediate as well as in the early phase of myocardial infarction. |
