Relations Between Umbilical Troponin T Levels And Fetal Distress

Abstract

Background: one of the most important neonatal morbidity during labor is Perinatal asphyxia. Hypoxia causes release troponin from cardiac muscles. Fetal distress during labor may be detected by monitoring the fetal heart rate. Elevated levels of troponin T in cord blood may be associated with intrauterine hypoxia
