The Diagnosis Value of Cardiac Troponin I in Acute viral Myocarditis

Objective: To explore the clinical evaluation of serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI) in the diagnosis of cardiac injury in viral myocarditis.Method: Concentrations of serum cTnI and CK-MB were measured in the acute group(n=60) and control group(n=30) with chemiluminescent immunoassay. Result:The concentrations of cTnI and CK-MB obviously elevated in the acute group,but the concentrations of cTnI in normal range in the group with the CK-MB elevated slightly.Conclusion:The method of cTnI,with its specificity and sensitivity,may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac injury in viral myocarditis.
