Why the study?
Do cardiac troponins improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for perioperative myocardial infarction compared to CK-MB in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Do cardiac troponins improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for perioperative myocardial infarction compared to CK-MB in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
The evolution of cardiac biomarkers from CK-MB to highly specific cardiac troponins has significantly improved the detection and diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support troponins over CK-MB for perioperative MI detection; leaves open outcome validation in noncardiac surgery.
