Multicenter Study Comparative StudyComparison of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T for the prediction of cardiac complications after non-cardiac surgery.
We aimed to directly compare preoperative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) I and T concentration for the prediction of major cardiac complications after non-cardiac surgery. ⋯ Preoperative hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT concentrations predict major cardiac complications after non-vascular surgery, while, in patients undergoing vascular surgery, hs-cTnI may have better accuracy.
