Determination of other non-type V MI-related factors influencing cardiac enzyme increase.
Median postoperative hs-cTnT, respectively CK-MB release was compared, depending on the type of surgery, to detect possible significantdifferences . To identify possible correlations between cardiac enzyme increase and independent parameters, linear regression analyses were performed, which also allowed comparison between hs-cTnT and CK-MB. Binary-coded thresholds for the hs-cTnT, respectively for the combination of hs-cTnT and CK-MB, were correlated with binary-coded independent factors in logistic regression analyses.
