Background

In the new (2007) universal definition for myocardial infarction (MI), the type-5 corresponded to MI after coronary revascularization, with cardiac enzymes release >5x normal values (N) required after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. However, data on long-term prognosis of patients with post-operative troponin release are scarce.

Methods

We followed up 826 consecutive patients operated for CABG between 1998 and 2002 in our institution. Post-operative troponin Ic (Tr-Ic) release has been systematically monitored. The primary outcome was total mortality. The secondary outcome was composite and combined: death, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, coronary or peripheral revascularization.

Results

Among the 693 men and 133 women (age 66.1 ¡À 9.3 yrs), post-operative Tr-Ic peak >5xN, >10xN and >20xN were at 54.8 % , 29.6 % and 15.6 % , respectively. During the follow-up period (6.5 ¡À 2.7 yrs), 146 (17.6 % ) deceased, and 302 (36.6 % ) met the composite outcome. Only the survival curves of those with Tr-Ic peak >10xN were significantly poorer than those without type-5 MI (Figure). Adjusted for age, sex, use of beta-blockers and statins, CVD risk factors, NYHA stage, LVEF <40 % , number of bypasses, on/off-pump surgery, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery or chronic kidney disease, only Tr-Ic >20xN was associated with mortality, and Tr-Ic >10xN was predictive for the composite outcome (table).
