Abstract
Background: primary intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the most common forms of stroke producing major disability. Cardiac troponin T is used as an indicator of severity in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage. The association between cardiac troponin T and severity has been infrequently studied.
Aim: to identify the relationship between cardiac troponin T and severity of the clinical condition in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage measured by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
Methods: during the period from October 2020 till July 2021, 60 patients were recruited having primary intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to neurology critical care unit at Zagazig University Hospital, studied by a prospective cohort study. Cardiac troponin T was measured upon admission. Severity was assessed upon admission by NIHSS.
Results: 35 (58.3%) patients had moderate score (5-15) upon admission compared to 15 (25%) patients with extremely severe condition (21-42), whereas 7 (11.7%) patients had severe condition and 3 patients (5%) had minor condition.
Conclusion: cardiac troponin T level is a valuable biomarker correlated with severity of intracerebral hemorrhage.
