Why the study?
Does topic defibrillation after cardiac surgery increase serum markers of myocardial damage in patients with an uncomplicated clinical course?
Does topic defibrillation after cardiac surgery increase serum markers of myocardial damage in patients with an uncomplicated clinical course?
Topic defibrillation after cardiac surgery does not influence cTnI levels, suggesting cTnI is a more reliable marker for true myocardial damage than CK-MB in these patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
cTnI may better indicate myocardial injury than CK-MB after cardiac surgery defibrillation; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation.
