Key result
Various cardiac biomarkers, including troponins, BNP, and inflammatory cytokines, show potential for predicting clinical outcomes and recovery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Why the study?
Do perioperative cardiac biomarkers predict clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery?
Do perioperative cardiac biomarkers predict clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery?
Monitoring perioperative cardiac biomarkers can aid in risk stratification and predicting clinical outcomes for patients undergoing CABG surgery.
May aid CABG risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
The variations in recovery time, complications, and survival among cardiac patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures are vast. Many formulas and theories are used to predict clinical outcome and recovery time, and current prognostic predictions are based on medical and family history, lifestyle, co-morbidities, and performance status. The identification of biomarkers that provide concrete evidence supporting clinical outcome has greatly affected the field of medicine, helping clinicians in many medicine sub-specialties to forecast clinical course. Recent studies have discovered biomarkers that may be used as predictors of cardiac patients' status post-cardiothoracic surgery, and the applications are numerous. In this review, we assess currently available cardiac biomarkers as predictors of clinical outcome for post-operative CABG patients. Data were collected from various studies in which cardiac biomarkers were measured in pre-operative and post-operative CABG patients.
