Hs-cTnT / CK-MB increase depending on type of surgery
The median hs-cTnT release was 769 ng/l (IQR: 483 - 1306 ng/l). The median CK-MB release was 50 U/l (IQR: 37 - 71 U/l). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences in hs-cTnT release depending on type of surgery, with the AVR-CABG and MVR groups having the highest median values. The strongest significance was found in the pairwise comparison of off-pump CABG with AVR-CABG or with MVR (Table 3) . Comparatively, the median CK-MB increase was also dependent on the type of surgery, with the MVR group consistently having the highest median rank (Table 4) .
