Why the study?
Does cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation after elective uncomplicated successful PCI predict adverse long-term outcomes in patients with stable angina?
Does cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation after elective uncomplicated successful PCI predict adverse long-term outcomes in patients with stable angina?
Elevation of cTnI ≥2.0 microg/L after elective, uncomplicated PCI in stable angina patients is a significant predictor of adverse long-term cardiac events.
