Abstract

PURPOSE: Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a highly sensitive and specific marker for myocardial damage, which has been shown to predict patients outcome pre- and postoperatively following elective coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Wether preoperatively elevated cTnI levels similarily predict the outcome in patients undergoing emergency CABG due to acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is currently unknown.
