Cardiac events within one year after a subarachnoid haemorrhage: The predictive value of troponin elevation after aneurysm occlusion.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Patients who survive after an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (ASAH) have an increased incidence of cardiovascular events compared with the general population. We assessed whether troponin elevation after aneurysm occlusion, as marker of myocardial injury, can predict long-term cardiac events. METHODS:We analysed a prospectively collected cohort of 159 patients with ASAH and early aneurysm occlusion, in whom routine post-intervention troponin I (TnI) measurements were performed. With competing risk regression modelling we estimated the association between TnI elevation after aneurysm occlusion and major adverse cardiac events within one year. Secondary outcome measures were all-cause mortality and neurological condition within one year. The predictive value of post-intervent
