Does cardiac troponin I measurement discriminate between graft-related and non-graft-related perioperative myocardial infarction after CABG?
Cardiac troponin I measured 12 to 24 hours post-CABG can effectively discriminate between graft-related and non-graft-related perioperative myocardial infarction, potentially guiding early therapeutic interventions.
Thielmann et al. (2005) studied this question.
