Aims To conduct a comparative study of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and MB isoenzyme of
serum creatine kinase (CK-MB) after different cardiac surgeries. Methods Consecutive …

AIM: Several studies suggest that postoperarive concentrations of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI)
may increase in patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass grafting (CABG). The degree …

It has previously been reported that cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is useful in predicting the
postoperative course after cardiac surgery, and that elevated serum cTnI levels are …

Aim A high postoperative peak of cardiac Troponin I is associated to an increased risk of
morbidity and mortality after cardiac operations. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) and CK-MB
for early prediction of outcome of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting …

Objective: The diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) after cardiac surgery
remains an important issue. The present study was designed to determine the relevance of …

BACKGROUND: Elevations of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT)
have an uncertain long-term prognostic value after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) …

Objective: The definition of a reliable and generally accepted diagnostic standard for
perioperative myocardial damage is desirable. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is highly specific for …

AIM: All types of cardiac surgery involve considerable injury to the myocardium. However,
little is known about the prognostic value of cardiac troponin (cTnI), which is a cardiac …

Perioperative acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious complication of cardiac surgery,
leading to increased morbidity and mortality (1). Currently, the diagnosis of AMI is based on …
