Predictive value of cord blood myocardial enzyme and troponin levels for myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia

PURPOSES: To assess the value of myocardial enzymes and troponins in cord blood in the early diagnosis of myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 50 cases of perinatal asphyxia neonates and 40 normal newborns in this study. The clinical manifestation, electrocardiograph (ECG) and echocardiography result, and the cord blood myocardial enzyme and troponin levels were compared between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to explore the diagnostic value of cord blood myocardial enzymes and troponins for myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia.

RESULTS: All cases in the asphyxia group had different degrees of clinical manifestations of myocardial injury, as well as ECG and echocardiography abnormalities. Compared with the control group, cord blood aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTNT), and cardiac troponin I (cTNI) levels in the asphyxia group were all elevated (all P < 0.05). Levels of the six biomarkers were all significantly higher in asphyxiated newborns with myocardial injury than in asphyxiated newborns without myocardial injury (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analyses showed that cord blood levels of CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI could be used to differentiate asphyxiated newborn with and without myocardial damage. Calculation of AUC (area under curve) values indicated that CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI had significant discriminatory ability (P=0.014, 0.021, and 0.009, respectively). The optimal cutoff value of CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI were 135.4 U/L, 112.6 ng/L, and 55.3 ng/L, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: Cord blood CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI levels could be used for early prediction of myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia.
