BACKGROUND: The troponin T ( @entity10020 ) is frequently elevated in @entity64 ( @entity64 ) @entity1 . However, the relationship, if any, between the @entity10020 level and @entity4798 remains to be established. The aim was to investigate the possible correlation between the location and volume of @entity4798 and the cardiac @entity10020 serum level in @entity64 @entity1 . METHODS: The study consisted of consecutive @entity64 @entity1 admitted within 12h of @entity64 onset. The location and volume of the @entity2806 was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging. Standard laboratory tests, including @entity10020 and repeated electrocardiograms, were performed at admission and after 4h. Correlations between the @entity10020 level and the location and volume of @entity4798 and baseline parameters were tested with a Spearman correlation coefficient. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis (LRA) were used to determine the possible predictors of @entity10020 elevation. RESULTS: Out of the 200 enrolled @entity1 , elevated @entity10020 was present in 71 (36%). No correlation was found between the @entity10020 serum levels and the location (P>0.05) nor volume of @entity4798 (r=0.05, P=0.48). LRA identified creatinine (OR: 1.26 per 10 mol/L increase; 95% CI: 1.043-1.524), NT-proBNP (OR: 1.05 per 100 g/L increase; 95% CI: 1.018-1.093) and male gender (OR: 3.674; 95% CI: 1.025-13.164) as significant independent predictors of pathological elevation of @entity10020 . CONCLUSIONS: Although elevated @entity10020 serum level is relatively frequent in @entity64 @entity1 within the first 12h of @entity64 onset, it is not related to the location or volume of @entity4798 .
