  Objective: To determine the relationship of serum troponin I after first acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular ejection fraction as assessed by echocardiography. Methods: A total of 40 patients of acute myocardial infarction were included in the study. Troponin I concentration was measured by ELISA method and echocardiographic ejection fraction was calculated by modified Simpson’s rule. Echocardiographic ejection fraction was compared with serum troponin I concentration. Patients with previous myocardial infarction were excluded. Result: There was strong negative correlation between troponin I concentration and left ventricular ejection fraction, i.e., with an increasing troponin level, there was a fall in ejection fraction. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was –0.69, which was statis.. Read More»
