Key result
A cardiac Troponin I 12-hour to 6-hour ratio of 1.3 optimally detected asymptomatic graft or anastomoses anomalies after CABG with 87.5% sensitivity and 62% specificity (P=0.003).

May aid early detection of asymptomatic graft anomalies after CABG; leaves open whether implementation improves outcomes.

Does a cardiac Troponin I 12 hours : 6 hours ratio >1.3 detect asymptomatic bypass graft abnormalities following coronary artery bypass surgery?
p-value: p=0.003
A rising cardiac Troponin I profile (12h:6h ratio >1.3) early after CABG can identify asymptomatic patients who may have graft or anastomotic abnormalities, potentially avoiding adverse outcomes.
Perrotti et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (n=1,693). Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) 12 hours : 6 hours ratio was evaluated on Asymptomatic graft or anastomoses anomalies (p=0.003). A cardiac Troponin I 12-hour to 6-hour ratio of 1.3 optimally detected asymptomatic graft or anastomoses anomalies after CABG with 87.5% sensitivity and 62% specificity (P=0.003).
