Cardiac Troponin T as a Sensitive Marker of Myocardial Infarction in Hypertensive Patients

Abstract

This study aimed to detect cardiac troponin T in Sudanese hypertensive patients along with the lipid profile. Cardiovascular disease is one of the common diseases prevalent in the recent period in the world, and deviate the etiology is a preventive benefit for people proper diagnostic and therapeutic for patients and contributes to accelerate healing and reduce the rate of complications. This study was conducted to determine the impact of hypertension on the heart. Hypertension is known as the most important arteries diseases. In this study, myocardial infarction was determined as one of the most important heart disease resulting from the impact of hypertension. Blood samples which were collected from one hundred patients, troponin T was measured by Elcsys 2010, troponin T is a protein released from damage heart muscles, lipid profile were also measured in blood samples to see their relationship with troponin t levels. Diagnoses with myocardial infarction was done by electrocardiogram (ECG). High significant levels of troponin T and high density lipoprotein were found in patient samples, also a significant relationships between troponin T levels and total cholesterol, troponin T levels and low density lipoproteins were found. This study concluded the necessity of dealing with hypertension properly to its direct impact on the heart muscle.
