Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) confers a considerable risk in cardiac surgery
settings; finding the ideal biomarker seems to be an ideal goal. Our aim was to assess the …

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a regulatory protein unique to myocardium. We used a
cardiospecific 30-min ELISA to measure cTnI in EDTA-plasma samples serially drawn from …

BACKGROUND: Markers of myocardial necrosis are usually elevated in patients who have
undergone a coronary bypass operation with cardiac arrest. The preferred marker in …

Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and troponin I elevations after successful percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) are common, and different gradations have been correlated with …

A best evidence topic in interventional cardiac surgery was written according to a structured
protocol. The question we addressed related to the elevation of markers of cardiac damage …

Objective: Perioperative myocardial ischemia is less pronounced in off-pump coronary artery
bypass (OPCAB) compared to on-pump coronary artery bypass; however, the threshold over …

Objective. To investigate the relationship between ASAT, CKMB, Troponin-T and mortality
after cardiac surgery. Design. ASAT, CKMB and TnT were analysed in 116 patients …

Background—Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a highly sensitive and specific marker for
myocardial injury that predicts outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes …

Background The prognostic value of asymptomatic perioperative troponin rise in vascular
surgery is unclear. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the …

Background: The prognostic value of troponin T (TnT) has been demonstrated in patients
following a myocardial infarction. There are limited data regarding the prognostic utility of …
