Prognostic value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I after isolated non-CABG cardiac surgery
Peak hs-cTnI levels are independently associated with adverse outcomes following CV or TA surgery without CABG. However, effective risk discrimination is poor, and the identified thresholds far exceed conventional definitions of myocardial infarction. These findings support the need for surgery-specific hs-cTnI thresholds to improve perioperative risk stratification.
