  • Title: Serum and plasma cardiac troponin I concentrations in clinically normal Thoroughbreds in training in Australia.
    Author: Begg LM, Hoffmann KL, Begg AP.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 2006 Sep; 84(9):336-7. PubMed ID: 16958634.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac troponin I is a potentially useful test to identify cardiac muscle damage in the horse. Measurements of cardiac troponin I from serum or heparinised plasma samples from 23 clinically normal Thoroughbred horses in race training were analysed through a standard Australian commercial laboratory using the ADVIA Centaur Assay. The cardiac troponin I concentrations were < 0.15 microg/L from all samples. The test was then validated using macerated equine myocardium. Cardiac troponin I concentration may be useful in determining whether poor performance in Thoroughbred horses is related to active myocardial disease.
