| Factor | hsTnT (high-sensitive troponin T) |
| Description | A statistically significant positive correlation was determined between pulmonary artery systolic pressure and scTnI and hscTnT levels (r = 0.34 p = 0.01, r = 0.46 p < 0.001, respectively) levels. |
| Biomarker | YES |
| Classification | E2 (physiological factor - biochemical index) |

| Objective | pulmonary artery systolic pressure |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Pulmonary hypertension determined in congenital heart diseases triggers myocardial damage independently of increased volume or pressure load and resistance, occurring by disrupting the perfusion via increasing ventricular wall tension and the myocardial oxygen requirement. Serum scTnI and hscTnT levels may be helpful markers to determine the damage associated with PH in childhood. |
