Dear Editor
Simon J. Clark is asking some interesting questions from the paper “Resuscitation with 100% O2 does not protect the myocardium in hypoxic newborn piglets”,[1] whether cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is preferable to cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in neonates. He is referring to Trevisanuto et al.[2] that found cTnI undetectable in neonates.
Other investigators have proven cTnI to be a reliable...

Børke et al.[1] in their paper "Resuscitation with 100% O2 does not protect the myocardium in hypoxic newborn piglets" showed a significant rise in cardiac troponin I following an asphyxial event in newborn piglets with a pleasing suggestion that normocarbia may be better for the myocardium.
I note that the baseline levels of cardiac troponin I were also measurable. Trevis...
