“…cTnI, a contractile protein unique to the heart muscle, is a sensitive biomarker, which was introduced predominantly for risk stratification in patients exhibiting acute coronary syndrome and is the gold standard for identifying MI (18,19); in addition, ACE2 is expressed in the heart and has been observed to exhibit a protective effect during MI (811). Increasing evidence indicates that the expression of cardiac ACE2 is higher following MI, which combats the adverse effects of an activated cardiac RAS and, therefore, may be a compensatory mechanism in MI (811,15,20).…”

“…In most publications, it was dichotomized with values ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 ng/mL [27][28][29][30][31] . In the present study, we used cutoff points in different percentiles; however, this did not change its pattern in either group.…”

“…In non-cardiac surgery, any increase in cTnI above the normal range must be considered as an indication of myocardial necrosis [3]. In cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the issue is far more complex since cardiac surgery and CPB can induce an increase in postoperative cTnI, even in the absence of postoperative cardiac complications [4][5][6][7]. This increase depends on the type of surgery and its subsequent degree of direct surgical trauma [8,9].…”

“…Several studies have previously described the kinetics of cTnI elevation in the plasma after cardiac surgery [4][5][6]. In case of significant myocardial infarction, peak levels of cTnI occur nearly 20-24 h after the end of surgery [5,14].…”
