Abstract
It is well established that cardiac biomarkers are universally raised post-cardiac surgery. This is due to various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. At present, no reliable tool or model considers intraoperative and postoperative factors to predict morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Troponin T as a single or serial measurement to predict postoperative mortality and morbidity, is an attractive diagnostic tool due to the direct relationship to myocardial damage and the availability of testing. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the expected release of troponin T post-cardiac surgery. From a diagnostic and prognostic point of view, troponin T testing could be beneficial in recognising high-risk patients and any imminent compilations early. Therefore, this review aims to assess the expected release profile and prognostic value of troponin T after cardiac surgery. Keywords: troponin T., CABG, MPM, SAPS

Perioperative mortality after cardiac surgery has been decreasing over the last few decades, highlighting the advancements in technology and healthcare
While the prognostic value of troponin T is being evaluated in recent studies, there is still a large disparity in the literature regarding the optimal cutoff value and the time of measurement of troponin T after cardiac surgery
