Optimal Timing of Troponin Measurement in Noncardiac Surgery: Preoperative, Postoperative or Perioperative?

During the study period, serial perioperative troponin measurements were obtained and the peak postoperative troponin value was compared with the preoperative troponin value to derive the delta (Δ) troponin I. They found that the presence of dynamic serial troponin concentration changes >=0.01 μg...

Description
Summary:During the study period, serial perioperative troponin measurements were obtained and the peak postoperative troponin value was compared with the preoperative troponin value to derive the delta (Δ) troponin I. They found that the presence of dynamic serial troponin concentration changes >=0.01 μg/L resulted in increased use of antiplatelet agents and uptitration of heart failure therapies and statins in patients undergoing vascular surgery. The investigators retrospectively examined the University of Michigan electronic medical record database...
