Single 24-h cTnI may suffice for in-hospital MACE prediction after cardiac surgery; leaves open whether kinetics add value in other settings or outcomes.
Does kinetic analysis of cTnI release improve prediction of in-hospital outcomes compared to a single 24-h measurement in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
A single 24-hour postoperative cTnI measurement is sufficient for predicting in-hospital adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, and complex kinetic analysis does not provide additional predictive accuracy.
