title: [Troponin T levels in cord blood after tocolysis with Bricanyl].
abstract: The present study was designed to evaluate the side-effects of preventive tocolysis by Bricanyl on the foetal myocardium using the new serological marker of myocardial damage-troponin T (TnT). The cardiac troponin T concentration was measured by means of commercial kits (Enzymun-Test System, Boehringer Mannheim, Germany) in the cord blood of 15 neonates. TnT serum concentration of neonates exposed in utero to Bricanyl was not significantly higher (mean 0.12 +/- 0.20 microgram/l) in comparison with the normal cardiac troponin T level but 4 of 15 neonates had an elevated TnT concentration (above 0.1 microgram/l). No correlation was found between TnT and CK or CK-MB.
