Troponin I elevation after elective percutaneous coronary interventions: Prevalence and risk factors.
Indian Heart Journal 2017 May
Troponin elevation after coronary angioplasty is a prognostic marker associated with significant morbidity and mortality, although its prevalence varies according to clinical and procedural characteristics. We analyzed the frequency of post-procedural enzyme elevation among 112 elective interventions between 2013 and 2014 in a private hospital in Brazil. Troponin increase was observed in 62.5% of the procedures, and was related to age, female sex, low pre-procedural hemoglobin, prior angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker use and multivessel angioplasty. PCI is not a risk free procedure and these results underscore the importance of a careful clinical assessment before its utilization.
