Pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass has been shown to preserve renal function and could therefore have considerable clinical value in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with preoperative renal insufficiency, by protecting them from further postoperative renal deterioration. Our three-year experience with pulsatile bypass in 29 patients with a preoperative serum creatinine concentration over 1.7 mg/100 ml (mean 2.9, range 1.8-6.1 mg/100 ml) (greater than 150 mumol/l (mean 256, range 159-539 mumol/l] supports this premise. There were no renal deaths in the perioperative period and only two patients had irreversible postoperative deterioration in renal function; one died on day 3 of low-output syndrome and the other had rapidly progressive nephrosclerosis and died of that disease one year later. Postoperative oliguria occurred in the patient with low cardiac output and in only one other. This experience contrasts with our previous experience and that reported by others with non-pulsatile bypass in patients with renal insufficiency. We suggest that pulsatile bypass should be considered for cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative renal dysfunction. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the calcium channel blocker diltiazem protects postoperatively renal function in cardiac surgical patients with preexisting mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical study. SETTING: Cardiothoracic anesthesia department at a university hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, with a preoperatively elevated serum creatinine level (n = 24). INTERVENTIONS: Randomized infusions of diltiazem (bolus 0.25 mg/kg followed by a continuous infusion of 1.7 microg/kg/min) (DTZ, n = 12) or placebo (C, n = 12) were started 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia and continued for 24 hours. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Median plasma concentrations of diltiazem (DTZ group) were 79 microg/L before cardiopulmonary bypass, 67 microg/L at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, and 164 microg/L at 24 hours postoperatively. Serum creatinine levels; on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5; and 3 weeks postoperatively were similar between groups. Iohexol clearance did not differ between the groups on day 5 but was higher in the DTZ group than in the placebo group 3 weeks after surgery (median, 51 v 40 mL/min/1.73 m(2); p < 0.05). Urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosamidase concentrations were similar between the groups during the study but were increased from baseline on days 2 and 4 and 3 weeks postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Diltiazem can be safely used in patients who have mild-to-moderate renal dysfunction and undergo cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Within the limits of this study, the data suggest that addition of prophylactic diltiazem may prevent further glomerular damage resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass and may improve glomerular function 3 weeks after cardiac surgery. 相似文献

Transoesophageal echocardiography measures of systolic left ventricular function obtained during coronary artery bypass surgery are heavily influenced by alterations in loading conditions. No validation of these measurements against load independent indices obtained by pressure-volume loop analysis has been undertaken in humans. Ten patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery underwent simultaneous transoesophageal echocardiography and pressure-volume loop analysis of cardiac function at different loading conditions (reduced preload, increased afterload and atrial pacing). Fractional area change, afterload corrected fractional area change, and lateral basal wall peak systolic myocardial velocity, along with dP/dt, were compared to the preload recruitable stroke work relationship. There were no significant differences between the echocardiography measures when compared to the preload recruitable stroke work relationship; however, dP/dt varied significantly across loading conditions (p<0.001). Transoesophageal echocardiography adequately assesses systolic function across loading conditions commonly seen during coronary artery bypass surgery. 相似文献

Background: Although myocardial injury during cardiac surgery is associated with impaired clinical outcome, little is known about the prognostic value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a cardiac-specific biologic marker. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the prognostic value of cTnI concentrations measured 20 h after the end of surgery in adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting or conventional valve surgery. Methods: Baseline and perioperative characteristics of 502 consecutive patients undergoing conventional heart surgery during a 1-yr period were collected. In-hospital death (n = 28) and major clinical outcomes, e.g., low cardiac output, ventricular arrhythmia, and renal failure, were recorded. Results: Multivariate analysis, using a stepwise logistic regression, showed that cTnI concentration was an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (for cTnI concentration > 13 ng/ml, odds ratio = 6.7 [95% confidence interval, 2.3-19.3]), as were diabetes, altered preoperative cardiac function, emergent surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, postoperative Pao2 level and total chest drainage volume. Further, elevated cTnI concentrations were associated with a cardiac cause of death and with major clinical outcomes. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Veno-arterial and regional differences of the partial pressure in CO2 (deltaPCO2), may be used as index to evaluate the adequacy of the cardiac output to the oxygen consumption. To determine the incidence of elevated deltaPCO2 and its relationship with difficult separation from bypass (DSB) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, we conducted a prospective observational cohort study. METHODS: Data were collected from 58 consecutive patients undergoing various cardiac operations requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). During the procedure, arterial and venous blood gases and lactate were sampled. Blood was drawn after induction of anesthesia, during bypass and at the closure of the chest wall. Difficult separation from bypass was defined as a systolic arterial pressure < 80 mmHg, and diastolic pulmonary artery pressure > 15 mmHg during progressive separation from CPB with inotropic or mechanical support of cardiac function, or hemodynamic instability resulting in reintroduction of extra-corporeal circulation or insertion of an intra-aortic balloon pump. RESULTS: In our study, 65% of the samples were associated with elevated deltaPCO2 (> 6 mmHg). Variables associated with difficult weaning were LVEF; duration of bypass and aortic cross-clamping, pre-bypass deltaPCO2 and in-bypass lactate values (P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis identified the pre-bypass deltaPCO2 and the duration of bypass as predictors of DSB. CONCLUSION: Elevated deltaPCO2 is frequently observed during cardiac surgery and values obtained before bypass were associated with DSB. The deltaPCO2 gradients could be used as marker of the adequacy of tissue perfusion during cardiac surgery. 相似文献

Mechanical circulatory support devices are being used to an increasing extent. The use of these devices as an adjunct to cardiac surgery to support ventricular function has contributed to improved outcomes for the highest risk patients. In the context of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, there are several potential indications for mechanical circulatory support: preoperatively in the setting of acute cardiogenic shock, or in patients with intractable angina with or without haemodynamic compromise; at induction of anaesthesia prophylactically in patients with critical coronary anatomy and/or severely impaired left ventricular function; intraoperatively in the setting of failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass; or postoperatively in patients who develop an intractable low cardiac output state. The use of the intra-aortic balloon pump, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, TandemHeart, Impella and central ventricular assist devices will be considered in the setting of high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. 相似文献

Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves systolic function in patients with heart failure and left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. However, the effect of biventricular (BiV) pacing on perioperative hemodynamics in cardiac surgery is not well known. We investigated the acute hemodynamic response using LVdP/dt max in patients with depressed LV function and conduction disturbances undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: Patients with LV ejection fraction of ≤35%, QRS duration of >130 ms, and left bundle branch block undergoing aortocoronary bypass and valve surgery were included. Temporary atrial and left and right ventricular pacing wires were applied, and LVdP/dt max was measured with a high fidelity pressure wire in the left ventricle at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. Responders had a ≥10% increase in LVdP/dt max. Results: Eleven patients (age 63 ± 11 years, eight males) with a LV ejection fraction 0.29 ± 0.06% were included. Compared with right ventricular pacing (782 ± 153 mmHg/sec), there was a significant improvement in the mean LVdP/dt max during simultaneous BiV pacing (849 ± 174 mmHg/sec; p = 0.034) and sequential BiV pacing with the LV 40 ms advanced (880 ± 157 mmHg/sec; p = 0.003). Improvement during LV pacing alone was not significant (811 ± 141 mmHg/sec). Six patients were responders with simultaneous and nine with sequential BiV pacing. Only sequential BiV pacing had a significant improvement in LV systolic pressure (p = 0.02). Conclusions: BiV pacing results in acute hemodynamic improvement of LV function during cardiac surgery. Optimization of the interventricular pacing interval contributes to the effect of the therapy. 相似文献

In cardiac surgery, acute renal failure (ARF) is more likely in elderly patients than in younger patients. We assessed whether kidney function is different between elderly and younger cardiac surgery patients by measuring kidney-specific proteins. Forty consecutive patients aged <60 yr and 40 patients aged >70 yr without preoperative kidney dysfunction undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were included. Creatinine clearance and fractional excretion of sodium, as well as urine concentrations of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, alpha-1-microglobulin, glutathione transferase-pi (GST-pi), and glutathione transferase-alpha (GST-alpha) were measured after induction of anesthesia, at the end of surgery, and at the first and second postoperative days (PODs) on the intensive care unit. Patients' ages were 54 +/- 4 and 77 +/- 3 yr, respectively. Preoperative creatinine concentrations were without significant differences between the two groups. Fractional excretion of sodium was significantly higher after bypass in the elderly than in the younger patients. Urine concentrations of all kidney-specific proteins increased after CPB in the elderly (e.g., GST-pi from 16.2 +/- 3.4 to 27.7 +/- 3.9 microg/L), whereas they remained almost unchanged in the younger patients. Concentrations of all kidney-specific proteins were significantly larger in the elderly than in the younger patients even at the second POD. Although none of our patients suffered ARF requiring dialysis, increased post-CPB urine concentrations of kidney-specific proteins in the elderly suggest discrete and transient alterations in kidney integrity in comparison with a younger patient population undergoing cardiac surgery. IMPLICATIONS: Measurement of kidney-specific proteins demonstrated that patients >70 yr (mean, 77 +/- 3 yr) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass had moderate and transient alterations in kidney integrity compared with patients aged <60 yr (mean, 54 +/- 4 yr). These abnormalities were not detected with standard measures of kidney function (e.g., creatinine concentrations). 相似文献

IntroductionPreoperatively elevated serum creatinine (SCr) is considered an independent risk
factor for morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study
was to apply the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes classification for acute
kidney injury in a population of patients with preoperatively elevated serum
creatinine who underwent cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting or
cardiac valve surgery) and to evaluate the acute worsening of renal function as a
predictor of 30-day mortality. MethodsThis was a single-center retrospective study that included patients from the
Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital de Base, São
José do Rio Preto Medical School. Demographics, type of surgery, laboratory data
and pre, peri and postoperative data were obtained from a prospectively collected
database. From January 2003 to June 2013, 2,878 patients underwent cardiac
surgery, either coronary artery bypass grafting or cardiac valve surgery, at the
Hospital de Base of São José do Rio Preto Medical School. Out of those, 918 showed
elevated preoperative serum creatinine, with SCr > 1.30 mg/dL for men and >
1.00 mg/dL for women. Five hundred and forty nine patients (60%) undergoing
coronary artery bypass grafting and 369 patients (40%) undergoing cardiac valve
surgery. A Multivariate Cox Proportional Hazard Model (stepwise) was used to
assess the relationship between AKI and mortality at 30 days. ResultsOut of the 918 patients studied, 391 (43%) had postoperative AKI: 318 (35%) had
Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 1, 27 (2.9%) had Kidney Disease
Improving Global Outcomes stage 2, and 46 (5.0%) had Kidney Disease Improving
Global Outcomes stage 3. Patients in every stage of acute kidney injury showed
progressive increase in EuroSCORE values, 30-day mortality ratescardiopulmonary
bypass duration, and intensive care length of stay. Among patients classified as
Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 3, 76% required dialysis with a
30-day mortality of 66%. The Cox proportional hazards model showed that the hazard
ratio for 30-day mortality was 4.8 for Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes
stage 1 patients, 13.5 for Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 2
patients, and 20.8 for Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage 3 patients
( P<0.001 for all). Subgroup analyses (coronary artery
bypass grafting and cardiac valve surgery) had similar results. ConclusionIn this population, acute kidney injury based on the Kidney Disease Improving
Global Outcomes criteria was a powerful predictor of 30-day mortality in patients
with elevated preoperative serum creatinine who underwent cardiac surgery
(coronary artery bypass grafting or cardiac valve surgery). 相似文献

Objective Liver cirrhosis is recognized as one of the risk factors for severe complications after cardiac surgery. However, there are
no established methods for risk stratification of the patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) regarding cardiac surgery. We present
our experience of preoperative evaluation of liver function using asialoscintigraphy.
Methods Between April 1999 and December 2005, we evaluated preoperative liver function using asialoscintigraphy with technetium-99m
galactosyl human serum albumin in four cirrhotic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting ( n = 2) and valve replacement ( n = 2), whose etiologies of LC were alcoholabuse ( n = 1) and hepatitis C virus infection ( n = 3). They also underwent other tests for preoperative evaluation of liver function, including the indocyanine green (ICG)
test.
Results Asialoscintigraphy revealed that the receptor index and the index of blood clearance in each patient were 0.81/0.73, 0.95/0.5,
0.82/0.62, and 0.97/0.57, respectively. These values closely correlated with the results of the ICG test. All patients were
discharged alive from hospital after surgery. However, although one patient who underwent off-pump bypass had an uneventful
course, three patients had major complications: pleural effusion ( n = 1) and wound infection ( n = 2).
Conclusion Asialoscintigraphy is a practical, reliable method that can replace the ICG test for estimating hepatic function for risk
stratification of cirrhotic patients undergoing cardiac surgery, whose mortality and morbidity are still high. 相似文献

Background: Strategies for neuroprotection including hypothermia and hemodilution have been routinely practiced since the inception of cardiopulmonary bypass. Yet postoperative neurocognitive deficits that diminish the quality of life of cardiac surgery patients are frequent. Because there is uncertainty regarding the impact of hemodilution on perioperative organ function, the authors hypothesized that extreme hemodilution during cardiac surgery would increase the frequency and severity of postoperative neurocognitive deficits. Methods: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery were randomly assigned to either moderate hemodilution (hematocrit on cardiopulmonary bypass >=27%) or profound hemodilution (hematocrit on cardiopulmonary bypass of 15-18%). Cognitive function was measured preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively. The effect of hemodilution on postoperative cognition was tested using multivariable modeling accounting for age, years of education, and baseline levels of cognition. Results: After randomization of 108 patients, the trial was terminated by the Data Safety and Monitoring Board due to the significant occurrence of adverse events, which primarily involved pulmonary complications in the moderate hemodilution group. Multivariable analysis revealed an interaction between hemodilution and age wherein older patients in the profound hemodilution group experienced greater neurocognitive decline (P = 0.03). 相似文献

CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective, randomized study of hemodilution during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in adults, the authors report an early termination of the study because of an increase in adverse events. They also observed greater neurocognitive impairment among older patients receiving extreme hemodilution. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare CardioQ esophageal Doppler cardiac output and thermodilution cardiac output during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: University-affiliated teaching hospital PARTICIPANTS: Adult patients (n = 20) undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Three hundred thirty-one comparisons of simultaneous CardioQ and thermodilution cardiac outputs were made. The Pearson correlation coefficient for the pooled data was 0.62. Using a Bland-Altman approach, the overall bias was -0.56 L/min with a precision of 0.64 L/min. The 95% limits of agreement (bias +/- 2 SD) were -0.56 +/- 1.28 L/min. For individual patients, the bias ranged from -1.35 L/min to 0.27 L/min and the precision from 0.24 L/min to 0.74 L/min. CONCLUSION: Because of the wide limits of agreement and the large interpatient differences in both bias and precision, the CardioQ esophageal Doppler cardiac output cannot currently be recommended as an alternative to thermodilution cardiac output during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. 相似文献

Objective: The aim of this study was to find out if infants after cardiopulmonary bypass develop non-thyroidal illness and if illness severity after cardiopulmonary bypass depends on hormone concentration in ultrafiltrate. Methods: Thyroid hormone status was assessed in 20 infants with congenital heart defects undergoing cardiac surgery (age range 7 days–11 months). Blood samples were collected preoperatively, during cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiopulmonary bypass, and also postoperatively in 1, 2, 3, and 8 day after cardiac surgery. Plasma thyrotropin, thyroxine, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, free triiodothyronine and reverse triiodothyronine were measured in blood samples and also in ultrafiltrate. Results: All patients had reduction in serum thyrotropin, thyroxine, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, free triiodothyronine, and elevation of reverse triiodothyronine after cardiac surgery. In all patients we performed ultrafiltration. Patients were divided in to two groups. (with and without prolonged recovery). In the group of patients with prolonged recovery we noticed significantly higher amount of triiodothyronine per kilogram body weight. One of these patients died. The average level of total thyroxine decreased from the level 126 nmol/l before bypass to the minimal level 73 nmol/l after bypass, free thyroxine from the level 18 pmol/l before bypass to the minimal level 12 pmol/l after bypass. The average level of total triiodothyronine decreased from the level 1.54 nmol/l before bypass to the minimal level 0.42 nmol/l after bypass, free triiodothyronine from the level 6.12 pmol/l before bypass to the minimal level 3.21 pmol/l after bypass. The average level of TSH decreased from the level 4.31 mU/l before bypass to the level 0.64 mU/l after bypass. The average level of reverse-triiodothyronine increase from the level 0.83 nmol/l before bypass to the maximal level 1.94 nmol/l after bypass. Conclusions: We conclude that non-thyroidal illness occurs in all infants after cardiopulmonary bypass. The amount of free triiodothyronine that is filtrated during cardiopulmonary bypass may influence postoperative recovery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Fetal cardiac surgery has potential benefits for treatment of some congenital heart defects. However, placental dysfunction as a result of fetal bypass, fetal stress, and fetal exposure to external milieu needs to be overcome to optimize the outcomes of fetal cardiac bypass. In this study we evaluated the technical feasibility of cardiac bypass in the nonhuman primate fetus and the efficacy of different anesthetic approaches. METHODS: Twelve baboon fetuses, average gestation 146 +/- 8 days and weight 696 +/- 184 g, were used. Three fetuses were excluded from the study because of nuchal cord presentations. The animals were separated into two anesthesia groups: isoflurane (n = 6) and fentanyl and midazolam (n = 3). A miniature roller pump circuit without oxygenator was used for fetal bypass for 30 minutes. No blood transfusion was performed. Fetal blood gas samples were collected before bypass, during bypass, and at 15 and 60 minutes after bypass. RESULTS: All fetuses in the isoflurane group were successfully placed on the cardiac bypass circuit. However, 2 animals in the fentanyl and midazolam group were not placed on the bypass circuit because of sustained elevation in maternal uterine tone. All maternal baboons survived. Of the 6 fetuses in the isoflurane group, 5 survived for 60 minutes; however, placental function continued to deteriorate after bypass (Pa o 2 33 +/- 3 mm Hg before bypass, 23 +/- 6 mm Hg 15 minutes after, and 18 +/- 9 mm Hg 60 minutes after). CONCLUSION: The technical feasibility of cardiac bypass in nonhuman primate fetuses weighing less than 1000 g was confirmed. Isoflurane anesthesia appears to be superior to fentanyl and midazolam anesthesia for fetal cardiac surgery because of adequate uterine relaxation. 相似文献

Levosimendan (LS) is a novel calcium sensitizer drug that enhances cardiac contractility without increasing myocardial oxygen consumption, and induces vasodilatation. Positive inotropic support is routinely used for weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass circulation in patients with reduced left ventricular function. This case report represents the successful usage of LS for weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass circulation after coronary artery bypass surgery. Levosimendan infusion was started at the sixth hour of cardiopulmonary bypass circulation. There was a dramatic increase in cardiac output 20 minutes after LS infusion, and weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass circulation was achieved. We suggest that LS enhances cardiac performance during and after cardiopulmonary bypass, and can be useful for patients who are unable to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the hemodynamic changes during beating heart revascularization of the left anterior descending artery, the circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery as well as cardiovascular beta-adrenoceptor function before and after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: University department of cardiothoracic anesthesia. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty patients scheduled for off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery using the Octopus 2 stabilizer system. INTERVENTIONS: Isoproterenol, 4 microg, was administered intravenously after induction of anesthesia and again after surgery to monitor cardiac beta-receptor function. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The hemodynamic responses to isoproterenol and cardiovascular variables were monitored before, during, and after immobilization of the target coronary artery with catheters in the radial and pulmonary arteries. During surgery on the left anterior descending artery (n = 23), stroke volume and cardiac index decreased 17 mL (21%) and 400 mL (17%). During revascularization of the circumflex artery (n = 9), stroke volume and cardiac index decreased 19 mL (28%) and 300 mL (17%). During surgery on the posterior aspect of the heart (n = 13), stroke volume and cardiac index decreased 22 mL (29%) and 400 mL (17%). All the cardiovascular variables had returned to baseline values 5 minutes after releasing the heart. The hemodynamic responses to isoproterenol were equal before and after surgery. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence that the hemodynamic changes associated with off-pump surgery on the 3 major coronary arteries are similar and of short duration. No desensitization of cardiovascular beta-adrenoceptors was found. This finding is in contrast to the deterioration in beta-adrenoceptor function seen after surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. 相似文献

We investigated the role of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in compromised lung function associated with cardiac surgery. Low-frequency respiratory impedance (Zrs) was measured in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with (n = 30; CPB group) or without (n = 29; off-pump coronary artery bypass [OPCAB] group) CPB. Another group of CPB patients received dopamine (DA) (n = 12; CPB-DA group). Extravascular lung water was determined in five CPB subjects. Zrs was measured before skin incision and after chest closure. Airway resistance and inertance and tissue damping and elastance were determined from Zrs data. Airway resistance increased in the CPB group (74.9% +/- 20.8%; P < 0.05), whereas it did not change in the OPCAB group (11.8% +/- 7.9%; not significant) and even decreased in the CPB-DA patients (-40.6% +/- 9.2%; P < 0.05). Tissue damping increased in the CPB and OPCAB groups, whereas it remained constant in the CPB-DA patients. Significant increases in elastance were observed in all groups. There was no difference in extravascular lung water before and after CPB, suggesting that edema did not develop. These results indicate a significant and heterogeneous airway narrowing during CPB, which was counteracted by the administration of DA. The mild deterioration in tissue mechanics, reflecting partial closure of the airways, may be a consequence of the anesthesia itself. IMPLICATIONS: We observed that cardiopulmonary bypass deteriorates lung function by inducing a heterogeneous airway constriction, whereas no such effects were observed in patients undergoing cardiac surgery without bypass. The impairment in parenchymal mechanics, which was obtained in both groups, may result from peripheral airway closure and/or be a consequence of mediator release. 相似文献

CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that cTnI concentration measured 20 h after the end of surgery is an independent predictor of in-hospital death after cardiac surgery. In addition, elevated concentrations of cTnI are associated with a cardiac cause of death and with major postoperative complications. 相似文献
