Background: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been shown to be a specific marker for
myocardial injury in cardiac surgery. The object of this prospective study was to determine …

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 …

Abstract Objectives: Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) is a well-known marker for myocardial
damage in patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass grafting (CABG) peaking 6–8 h after …

Abstract Objective: Cardiac troponin I cTnI is a highly sensitive and specific marker for
postoperative prediction of patients outcome after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) …

Background The value of postoperative cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has been shown to indicate
a higher risk of in-hospital death after cardiac surgery. The authors therefore assessed the …

Background—Cardiac surgery may be associated with significant perioperative and
postoperative morbidity and mortality. Underlying pathology, surgical technique, and …

Following cardiac surgery, electrocardiography and creatine kinaseisoenzyme MB (CK-MB)
activities are of limited value in diagnosing anon-transmural infarction. With the recent …

Purpose: Troponin is a specific marker of myocardial damage. Increased troponins,
however, are observed after almost all cardiac surgery. The clinical significance of this …

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

Background Cardiac troponins are frequently measured as part of the pre-operative work-up
of patients prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The utility of measuring …
