Effects of age and ischemic times on biochemical evidence of myocardial injury after pediatric cardiac operations

Abstract: This study supports the specificity of cardiac troponins T and I as markers of myocardial injury after pediatric cardiac operations and defines the importance of age and ischemic time in determining their release. In comparison with previous data in adults, our results raise the possibility that the pediatric heart may be more vulnerable to the effects of ischemia and reperfusion. Cardiac troponins will permit comparison of new myocardial protective strategies or other potentially therapeutic myocardial interv… Show more

“…The restrictive group had both higher troponin T peak and higher AUC values than the nonrestrictive group, and indeed, the peak values in the restrictive group were in the extreme end of the range found in a previous pediatric series of patients undergoing open-heart surgery in our 16,17 and other 27 institutions. In addition, the peak troponin T values for patients with restrictive physiology were 3 to 4 times higher than previously reported values for adults undergoing coronary artery surgery 28,29 or heart transplantation 30 and lie in the upper range reported for adults with myocardial infarction.…”

“…Following pediatric surgery, intubation and intensive care unit stay time which have effects on morbidity and mortality, were found significantly longer, as shown in our study (19) . Despite, high levels of troponin I in infant population; Bojan et al declared the unnecessity of routine troponin I use in infants under 1 years old (12,13,20) . Consequently, the use of cardiac markers has been increasing during treatment of patients with congenital heart disease; however, there is no valid guideline regarding the routine use of these markers.…”
