Abstract
Troponin I greater than 3.1 μg/L at 12 hours defines perioperative MD. Associated ECG-echocardiographic criteria indicate acute myocardial infarction and anticipate a worse outcome. Identification of predictors for MD is important to develop preventative strategies, as antegrade plus retrograde cardioplegia and enoximone infusion.
