In aortic valve disease | |
Saito et al6 | Preoperative levels of hs-troponin T predict cardiac death and fatal arrhythmia after aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis without concomitant coronary artery disease |
Rosjo et al7 | Increased hs-troponin-T levels are detectable in patients with moderate and severe aortic stenosis and are associated with poor prognosis |
Chin et al8 | Plasma troponin-I concentrations are associated with the need for aortic valve replacement and cardiovascular death |
In mitral valve disease | |
Oshima et al9 | Length of cardiopulmonal bypass time influences troponin-I levels; higher troponin-I levels on postoperative days 1 and 2 significantly correlated with increased intensive care unit and hospital day |
Monaco et al10 | cTroponin I higher after surgical mitral valve replacement than after mitral valve repair and cTroponin I concentrations strongly associated with risk of impending postoperative complications |
Wöhrle et al11 | Higher baseline concentrations of hs-troponin strongly predict cardiovascular death and rehospitalisation after percutaneous mitral valve repair |
In patients with HF | |
Peacock et al12 | Troponin above the upper reference limit is associated with more severe heart failure, more severe heart failure symptoms, need for more aggressive supportive measures and worse outcome |
Pascual-Figal et al13 | Nearly all patients with acutely decompensated heart failure have highly sensitive troponin-I or troponin-T value above the 99th percentile |
Masson et al14 | 5284 patients with chronic heart failure (pooled analysis from Val-HeFT and GISSI-HF): Increases in high sensitivity troponin over 3–4 months of follow-up are associated with all-cause mortality and improve prognostic discrimination beyond baseline high sensitivity troponin values only |
In heart transplant recipients | |
Bocceciampe et al15 | Elevated troponin levels in the pretransplant period are correlated with reduced LV-EF and regional wall motion abnormalities in the donor heart without correlation to early or late post-transplant outcome |
Marasco et al16 | Peak troponins are correlated with postoperative primary graft failure |
De Santo et al17 | Total ischaemic time and postoperative troponin elevation >10 µg/L are markers for increased postoperative morbidity and mortality |
