Title: The relationship of acute myocardial infarction complications and serum cardiac troponin I
Abstract: Objective To inverstigate the relationship of prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and serum cardiac troponin I. Methods Serum level of cardiac troponin I was detected at 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day after AMI by using immune chromatography assay. According to cardiac troponin I level, 106 patients were divided into three groups: high level group, moderate level group and lower level group. Heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, ischemic chest pain, cardiac shock and cardiac death were observed and analyzed in all patients during hospitalization. Results During hospitalization, heart failure, ischemic chest pain and cardiac death occurred more frequently in high level group and moderate level group than those in lower level group (P0.01). The incidence of other AMI complications was no different in three groups (P0.05). Conclusion It suggested that detection of serum cardiac troponin I could aid to predict the risk of early occurrence of AMI complications and the prognosis of patients with AMI .
