Summary:The purpose of this research was to establish if determined at the reception level of troponin I could be such kind of factor. Presented data represent preliminary report of this study. The analyzed data base on 196 patients with IS: 166 discharged from hospital and 30 with clinical course terminated by death. The IS was confirmed by computed tomography (CT). The conducted recording consists of data like e.g.: age, sex and risk stroke factors. Also the following factors were evaluated on admission: state of consciousness, level of neurological deficiency according to Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS). After half of year again SSS level was evaluated. The studied groups differed in level of neurological deficiency determined on admission. The direct mortality within IS group and increased level of troponin I represents 20.90% and with correct level of troponin I represents 12.40% (p=NS). The half year mortality group recording has not been considered yet because research is still continuing and database is continually updated. The increased level of troponin I on admission is not a prognostic factor of direct mortality within IS patients. We noticed that occurrence of disturbances in patient's EKG places those patients in the group of increased risk of death.
