The minimum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I tied to 30-day death after cardiac surgery was found to be significantly greater than what is currently recommended to diagnose periprocedural myocardial injury, researchers reported.
According to data published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the minimum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I level associated with 30-day mortality risk after CABG and aortic valve replacement or repair observed by researchers was approximately 218 times greater than the upper reference limit.
The Fourth Universal Definition of MI states that, in patients who
