12-Month Outcome After Cardiac Surgery: Prediction by Troponin T in Combination With the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation

Postoperative TNT increase (per 0.1 μg/L) is a strong independent predictor of 12-month outcome after on-pump cardiac surgery. Updating the preoperative EuroSCORE risk with postoperative TNT allows for better prediction of 12-month MACE and all-cause mortality.
