Incidence of Myocardial Injury and Cardiac Dysfunction After Adult Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been reported in observational studies, but there is no robust estimate of their incidences. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled incidence of myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction among adult patients with TBI. A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to November 2022. Observational studies were included if they reported at least one abnormal electrocardiographic finding, elevated cardiac troponin level, or echocardiographic evaluation of systolic function or left ventricular wall motion in adult patients with TBI. Myocardial injury was defined as elevated cardiac troponin level according to the original studies and cardiac d
