A comparison of cardiac troponin T and creatine kinase-MB for patient evaluation after cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the role of serum markers of myocardial necrosis after cardiac surgery. BACKGROUND The role of serum troponin T (TnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) for the risk stratification of patients after cardiac surgery remains undefined. METHODS Serum levels of TnT and CK-MB were measured from 224 patients every 8 h after cardiac surgery. The results o...
متن کاملCauses of increased plasma creatine kinase activity after surgery.
To determine whether drug reactions might play a role in postoperatively increased plasma enzyme activity, we measured creatine kinase (CK), and ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) activities immediately before and on the 1st, 4th, and 8th day after 343 elective surgical procedures performed on 327 patients who had received various drugs pre-operatively. We saw no overt clinical evidence of m...
متن کاملMortality risk conferred by small elevations of creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme after percutaneous coronary intervention.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess whether small creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) elevations after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) affect the subsequent mortality risk. BACKGROUND Several studies have evaluated the relationship of CK-MB levels after PCI with the subsequent risk of death. While there is consensus that elevations exceeding 5 times the upper limit of nor...
متن کاملCurrent smoking predicts increased operative mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery in the elderly.
OBJECTIVES The effect of preoperative smoking status on the outcome of cardiac surgery remains unclear. Preoperative cessation may be associated with reduced postoperative pulmonary complications and in older patients preoperative smoking status appears to have a greater impact on outcome. This study was designed to assess the relationship between age, preoperative smoking status and outcomes f...
متن کاملIncreased Mortality, Postoperative Morbidity, and Cost After Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Patients Having Cardiac Surgery
Background—Red blood cell transfusion can both benefit and harm. To inform decisions about transfusion, we aimed to quantify associations of transfusion with clinical outcomes and cost in patients having cardiac surgery. Methods and Results—Clinical, hematology, and blood transfusion databases were linked with the UK population register. Additional hematocrit information was obtained from inten...
