Evaluation of Cardiac Troponin -cTnI was under taken in Nineteen Cross bred diary cows. These are aged between 2.5 to 8 years and presented with the history of jowl and brisket edema to the Cardiology Referral Clinic, Veterinary College and Research Institute, Orathanadu, Thanjavur from June 2018 to May 2019.All the cases were confirmed to be affected by TRP. cTnI was assessed using Point-of-Care immunoassay issuing i-STAT handheld analyser. The affected cows had elevated cTnI (0.10 ± 0.034 ng / ml) than healthy cows (0.027 ± 0.016 ng / ml) (P< 0.05). Point-of-care cTnI measurement helped as an easy and early diagnostic measure. It helped to assess the nature of myocardial involvement and cell damage in Traumatic reticulo pericarditis affected cows.
