Abstract: Objective To investigate the myocardial damage in congenital heart diseases after paediatric cardiovascular intervention by the madeinChina occluder through monitoring the changes of heart fatty acidbinding protein (H-FABP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) dynamically. Methods A total of 24 patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) patients, 20 atrial septal defect (ASD) patients and 16 ventricular septal defect (VSD) patients were enrolled, and their serum levels of cTnI and H-FABP were monitored dynamically. Results The results of serum H-FABP and cTnI concentrations were (1.28±0.57)μg/L and (0.02±0.01)μg /L at preoperative time, respectively. After the operation, they were (8.51±5.47)μg/L and (0.46±0.49)μg/L after (10±5) min, and (2.31±1.73)μg/L and (0.66±0.45)μg/L after 4 h, respectively, and then they were decreased obviously after 24 h with statistical significance (P<0.01). Conclusions After paediatric cardiovascular intervention, it exists myocardial damage which is related to the kinds of congenital heart diseases. Compared with cTnI, the serum H-FABP is an early and sensitive marker for predicting myocardial damage.It is useful to prevent postoperative complications by monitoring H-FABP and cTnI.
