Ischaemic preconditioning reduces troponin T release in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

Abstract: Objective-To investigate whether ischaemic preconditioning could reduce myocardial injury, as manifest by troponin T release, in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery. Design-Randomised controlled trial. Setting-Cardiothoracic unit of a tertiary care centre. Patients-Patients with three vessel coronary artery disease and stable angina admitted for first time elective coronary artery bypass surgery were invited to take part in the study; 33 patients were randomised into control or precondi… Show more

“…Some experimental studies have investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning on necrosis markers and the potential clinical interpretation [36][37][38]. Basically, in MI patients undergoing myocardial revascularization ischemic preconditioning was reported to reduce periprocedural cTn concentrations and to delay myocardial necrosis [36]. To date, our study is the first to suggest that in vivo ischemic preconditioning might prevent exacerbation of myocardial necrosis at the onset of a new acute event.…”

“…The condition of patients with a history of ACS could reflect the experimental model of MI developing tolerance to prolonged ischemic insult, namely ischemic preconditioning when the myocardium has been previously exposed to brief periods of ischemia and reperfusion [35]. Some experimental studies have investigated the effect of ischemic preconditioning on necrosis markers and the potential clinical interpretation [36][37][38]. Basically, in MI patients undergoing myocardial revascularization ischemic preconditioning was reported to reduce periprocedural cTn concentrations and to delay myocardial necrosis [36].…”

“…This endogenous protection mechanism occurred in all animal species studied 9 , and some authors also suggested its existence in man 10,11 . In 1986, Murry et al 8 were the first to report this phenomenon in a canine model.…”

“…The prognostic implication of the elevation of intraoperative cTn I was considered by JENKINS et al [15], when he proposed that the demonstration of the increase of cTn I is a consequence of myocardial lesion. GREENSON et al [16] reported that the peak of cTn I demonstrates the risk of cardiac events in a significantly better manner than the peak of CKMB, in patients submitted to CABG.…”
