Comparison of serum troponin level and echocardiographic parameters between male and femal patients with ACS

Background: Acute Coronary Syndrome is one of the commonly diagnosed life threatening condition as of now. Hence it is necessary to diagnose early and assess the severity of disease as soon as possible. Troponin is considered a specific marker for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aim: To estimate the high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) in Acute coronary syndrome patients. Also to compare serum troponin levels and echocardiographic parameter in patient's gender. Materials and Methods: 70 patients of both sexes who got admitted within 24 hours after onset of symptoms and diagnosed as Acute Coronary Syndrome in Hospital of Baghdad /medical city  during the period of December 2020 to December 2021. The (hs-cTn) was measure in the blood with Elisa Assay kit. Results: This study included 70 patients, they divided into two groups: Male group and female group. The control group included 20 healthy persons. There was a significant increase in the frequency of ACS among males in comparison to females (P-value =0.0027). The mean (± SEM) value of serum hs-troponin I concentrations did not differ significantly (p=0.372) as compared with mean (± SEM) value of serum control group.
