It has been known for 50 years that transaminase activity increases in patients with acute
myocardial infarction. With the development of creatine kinase (CK), biomarkers of cardiac …

Numerous studies have studied the effect of halogenated agents on the myocardium,
highlighting the beneficial cardiac effect of the pharmacological mechanism (preconditioning …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the role of serum markers of myocardial
necrosis after cardiac surgery. Background: The role of serum troponin T (TnT) and creatine …

A randomised study of 414 patients undergoing coronary artery surgery with
cardiopulmonary bypass was conducted to compare the effects of a volatile anaesthetic …

The troponin complex is situated on the thin filament of the striated muscle contractile
apparatus and consists of troponin T (39 kD), troponin I (26 kD), and troponin C (18 kD) …

Background: Increased cardiac troponins in blood are observed after virtually every open
heart surgery, indicating perioperative myocardial cell injury. We sought to determine the …

Background Although it has been suggested that elevation of CK-MB after percutaneous
coronary intervention is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, limited data are …

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine if elevated cardiac serum biomarkers after coronary
artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are associated with increased medium-term mortality …

OBJECTIVE: Myocardial disease without evidence of myocardial infarction is a frequent
complication after cardiac surgery during cardiopulmonary bypass. Statins might be …

BACKGROUND: Increased cardiac troponin is observed after virtually every cardiac
operation, indicating perioperative myocardial injury. The clinical significance of this …
