Cardiac troponin T elevation after coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with increased one-year mortality

Am J Cardiol. 2004 Oct 1;94(7):879-81. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2004.06.022.

Abstract

The results of the present study extend the value of assessing troponin T for the prediction of mortality rate 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting; this study supports previous work that demonstrated the value of postoperative assessment of troponin T for the prediction of in-hospital adverse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting.
