Why the study?
Relying solely on cardiac biomarker release to define perioperative myocardial infarction is questionable, as relevant biomarker release can occur without cell death or apart from myocardial infarction.
Is perioperative biomarker release alone reliable for identifying myocardial injury or infarction in cardiac surgery?

Biomarker release alone unreliable for perioperative MI diagnosis; leaves open need for validated multimodal criteria in cardiac surgery.
Is perioperative biomarker release alone reliable for identifying myocardial injury or infarction in cardiac surgery?
Perioperative cardiac biomarker release alone is unreliable for diagnosing myocardial infarction in cardiac surgery due to non-cell death-related release mechanisms.
