Creatine Kinase MB, Troponin I, and Troponin T Release Patterns after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with or without Cardiopulmonary Bypass and after Aortic and Mitral Valve Surgery

Cardiac Troponin T for Prediction of Short- and Long-Term Morbidity and Mortality after Elective Open Heart Surgery

“…In agreement with previous studies showing that troponin release correlated with the complexity of congenital heart disease and type of surgery (22,24 ), in our study cTnT concentrations were significantly different among the four groups of patients undergoing CABG, combined CABG/valve surgery, valve surgery, or miscellaneous procedures. The lowest values were in the group undergoing CABG, and the highest values were observed with more complex procedures such as the Yacoub and Ross procedures.…”

Prognostic Impact of Myocardial Injury Related to Various Cardiac and Noncardiac Conditions

“…These patientseof whom 55% underwent cardiac surgeryedemonstrated much higher peak cardiac troponins than seen in any other subgroup, supporting the observation that high cardiac troponin values following uncomplicated cardiac surgery is a frequent observation. [30][31][32] Rhabdomyolysis with cardiac involvement is known to give rise to cardiac troponin elevation, 1,33 and accounted for an overall frequency of 4%. In a recent study, Lindner et al 28 found rhabdomyolysis to be the underlying diagnosis in 1% of 506 emergency department patients with nonmyocardial infarction elevated cardiac troponin T. In that study, however, all patients underwent troponin testing regardless of clinical presentation.…”

Troponin elevations in patients with chronic cardiovascular disease: An analysis of current evidence and significance

“…The vast majority of the literature describing troponin as a prognostic indicator in mitral disease focuses on the perioperative period. [ 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 ] Troponin I levels were studied retrospectively by Oshima et al . in a set of 24 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery.…”
