Predicting Mortality and Morbidity After Elective Cardiac Surgery Using Vasoactive and Inflammatory Biomarkers With and Without the EuroSCORE Model

In elective cardiac surgery, preoperative levels of MR-proADM and CT-proET-1 are predictors of 30-day mortality and could improve the predictive accuracy of the EuroSCORE. Further research should confirm the place of these new biomarkers in the prediction of mortality and identification of patients at risk.
