Key result
Transient myocardial ischemia, elevated troponin I levels, and advanced age were significant predictors of cardiac complications in critically ill adults with noncardiac conditions (P < .001).

Does transient myocardial ischemia predict in-hospital cardiac events in critically ill adults admitted for noncardiac conditions?
p-value: p=<.001
Transient myocardial ischemia and elevated troponin I are significant predictors of in-hospital cardiac events in critically ill patients admitted for noncardiac conditions.
Booker et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Critically ill adults admitted for noncardiac conditions (n=76). Transient myocardial ischemia vs. No transient myocardial ischemia was evaluated on Cardiac complications (p=<.001). Transient myocardial ischemia, elevated troponin I levels, and advanced age were significant predictors of cardiac complications in critically ill adults with noncardiac conditions (P < .001).
