Popis:	It was suggested that a single value of normal or increased plasma cardiac troponin T or I (cTnT or cTnI) concentration could contribute to estimate donor myocardial damage and function in brain-dead patients. In patients with acute coronary syndromes, an initial normal value of troponin must be confirmed several hours later but no such recommendations exist for brain-dead patients. We investigated the relationship between two sequential (6 h interval) measurements of plasma cTnI concentrations in brain-dead patients considered as potential heart donors. The first and the second TnIc values were correlated with an adjusted r 2 value of 0.92 ( p
