Abstract
BACKGROUND
Renal dysfunction is an independent risk factor of cardiac dysfunction and one of common complications after cardiac surgery. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between serum creatinine (s-Cr) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB).
METHODS
Data, from 13 patients underwent OPCAB, were analyzed in prospective fashion. The levels of s-Cr and cTnI were evaluated before and after OPCAB. The correlations of s-Cr and TnI were analyzed in the patients with cardiac dysfunction assessed by low cardiac output or stroke volume at end of surgery.
RESULTS
Patients with preoperatively elevated s-Cr (female, > or =1.2 microg/L; male, > or =1.5microg/L) showed higher incidence of elevated s-Cr and elevated cTnI (> or =0.68microg/L) on arrival at intensive care unit (POD-0), postoperative 12 hours (POD-1) and postoperative 36 hours (POD-2) (P< 0.05). Patients with preoperatively elevated cTnI showed higher incidence of elevated cTnI at POD-0, POD-1 and POD-2 (P< 0.05). In 7 patients with low cardiac index (< 2.0 L/min/m2) or stroke volume index (<40 mL/beat/m2) at end of surgery, the increases of s-Cr and cTnI showed positive correlation at POD-0, POD-1 and POD-2 (correlation coefficient 0.818, 0.864 and 0.785, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
The increases of s-Cr and cTnI showed positive correlation in low cardiac output after OPCAB. The results suggested that elevated s-Cr may be an independent predictor of elevated cTnI representing perioperative myocardial injury.
