The Prognostic Role of Early Postoperative Troponin I in Lung Transplantation—A Retrospective 7-Year Analysis

Objectives Postoperative cardiac troponin I concentration is predictive of worsened outcomes in cardiac surgery. Lung transplantation (LT) surgery shares common features with cardiac surgery, but postoperative troponin has yet to be investigated. The authors aimed to evaluate the association between early postoperative troponin concentration and the 1-year mortality after transplantation. Design A retrospective, observational, single-center...
