Table 4. Comparison of the troponin and BNP measurements.

Variables Median Min-max p-value
Troponin (pg/mL)
Initial values 6.0 06.0–22.0
After AC 23.0 06.0–85.0 < 0.001*
After T 25.0 06.0–80.0 < 0.001*
BNP (pg/mL) 0.43
Initial values 13.0 03.0–81.0
After AC 12.0 05.0–103.0
After T 12.0 02.0–45.0

Friedman test followed by multiple non-parametric comparisons for longitudinal data.

*A two-tailed p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant compared with initial values.

AC: anthracycline (doxorubicin) and cyclophosphamide, T: taxane (paclitaxel), BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide, and min-max: minimum to maximum.
