Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker which has been shown to predict patient outcome pre- and postoperatively following elective coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Whether preoperatively elevated cTnI levels similarly predict the outcome in patients undergoing emergency CABG with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is currently unknown.
