The significant increase of cTnI (p<0.01) and cTnT (p<0.05) concentration in TP affected group indicates myocardial cell damage [28] as cTn proteins, which are usually present in blood either at very low concentrations or below the limit of detection of most assays, are released into the circulation in pericarditis. This evidence concerns the gene TNNT2 and pericarditis.
