Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is one of the most common causes of prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stay after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and is associated with poor prognosis and increases postoperative mortality due to the lack of accurate diagnostic methods. This study examines the association between electrocardiography (ECG) ischemic changes and cardiac troponin I concentration.
