Elevated level of serum troponin (T-I) has been regarded as a prognostic biomarker of poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke. However, its role in outcome in thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of T-I as a predictive biomarker of short-term outcome in thrombolysed ischemic stroke participants.

However, its role in outcome in thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of T-I as a predictive biomarker of short-term outcome in thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients. Methods: This study included 72 acute ischemic stroke participants were treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy. All participants were subjected to general and neurological evaluation including assessment of stroke severity using National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission and investigations including measurement of serum level of T-I on admission. Outcome was assessed three months after stroke onset using NIHSS and modified Rankin scale (mRS).

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| good neurological Outcome after thrombolysis | Neurological Outcome was assessed by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) . good outcome (neurological improvement) was defined as 8 points improvement in NIHSS | three months |
| poor neurological Outcome after thrombolysis | Neurological Outcome was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The modified Rankin Scale consists of 6 grades, from 0 to 5, with the best score 0 (corresponding to no symptoms) and the worst score 5 (corresponding to severe disability). Poor outcome was defined as death or disability (mRS scores ≥2). | three months |

Eighty one thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients were enrolled in this study. Participants who did not complete the study (9 Participants were lost during follow up) were eliminated. So the study included seventy two Participants (34 males and 38 females) who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Serum troponin I (T-I) was collected at hospital admission at the emergency department, before any treatment. Serum samples from patients were drawn using standard venipuncture techniques. Blood samples were left to clot for 4 hours at room temperature, then centrifuged to obtain the serum which was stored frozen at (-20C). Serum T-I levels were quantified in an enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology (ELISA) following manufacturer's instructions (ALPCO, 26G Keewaydin Drive, Salem NH03079, USA). Upper reference limit for apparently healthy individuals is <0.01μg/l.
