“…Of these 48 patients, more than 50% presented with myocardial ischemia as the primary symptom, whereas the rest of this group had acute heart failure, tachycardia, pulmonary embolism, and sepsis as initial symptom. Troponin T elevation is a prognostic variable among patients with sepsis, 16 and in patients with severe exacerbation of chronic pulmonary disease, elevated troponins are observed and, elevated troponins in this group of patients are an independent predictor of death. 17 It is likely that the presence of hypoxemia and the increased breathing effort may cause an infarction in this group of patients with a high prevalence of atherosclerotic disease.…”

“…Biochemical markers such a cardiac Troponin T and I and B-Type Natriuretic peptide (BNP), are well established markers of myocardial iscahemia and cardiac failure in adults and children (Koch and Singer 2003;Fromm 2007) (Spies, Haude et al 1998) BNP is a 32 amino acid ring structure which has its sequence present on chromosome 1. It is found in high concentration in the ventricles of the heart and is released in response to volume and pressure loading and ventricular stress.…”

“…Nello studio di Arlati et al 49 , la percentuale di pazienti con sepsi di grado severo, shock settico o shock ipovolemico con livelli aumentati di TnI supera il 70%; la totalità dei pazienti con shock ipovolemico presenta valori diagnostici. Analogamente alla TnI, in presenza di shock settico sono riportati contestuali aumenti della TnT, con valori diagnostici osservati in oltre un terzo della casistica 48,83 . Il valore della troponina in questo caso sembra correlato alla severità del processo patologico.…”

“…Malgrado nella maggior parte dei pazienti sia possibile escludere la presenza di eventi coronarici indipendenti dalla sepsi, patologie cardiache concomitanti o un'ischemia miocardica causata dallo stress sono possibili cause aggiuntive di aumento delle troponine in questi pazienti critici. Anche infezioni di patogeni specifici, quali Streptococco pneumoniae o batteri Gram-negativi 47 , possono concorrere a determinare danno cardiaco e aumento del rilascio di troponine in circolo, aumento per lo più indipendente dalla natura dell'agente patogeno 83 .…”
