Abstract
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting provides better myocardial protection than on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Cardiac troponin I and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, but not high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, served as superior diagnostic discriminators of perioperative myocardial damage after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
