Description
Summary:[1] However, these scores are based only on the assessment of preoperative clinical variables, not taking into account perioperative and postoperative complications. [...] there is an increasing interest for the development of novel easily applied markers that have the potential to enhance our predictive ability. According to our findings, troponin levels after CABG surgery could be used to predict increased long-term risk for death.
