Usefulness of postoperative high-sensitive troponin T measurement and implications for defining type 5 infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim of the study

Guidelines indicate for type 5 myocardial infarction (MI) that postoperative troponin need not be exclusively ischemic but may also be caused by epicardial injury. Complexity arises from the introduction of high-sensitive troponin. This study attempts to contribute to the understanding of postoperative high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) increase.

Methods

The median enzyme increase of different cardiac operations was compared. Linear regression analyses were used to determine correlations between enzyme rise and independent parameters. Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) served to evaluate the discriminatory power of enzyme rise in detecting ischemia and to determine possible thresholds.

Results

Among 400 patients, 2.8% had
