Variations in troponin values THS (cutoff value 14ng/L) were analyzed in 30 patients undergoing vascular surgery in relation to myocardial ischemia. It was found that the measure of troponin THS in selected patients before the operation, along with stabilityor little increase of such values after the operation, were a reliable basis for a differential diagnosis to exclude acute myocardial infarction, when there was an absence of symptoms and an ECG unchanged after surgery.Key words: Troponin, acute myocardial infarction, vascular surgery, renal insufficiency, arteriopathy.

Abstract

Variations in troponin values THS (cutoff value 14ng/L) were analyzed in 30 patients undergoing vascular surgery in relation to myocardial ischemia. It was found that the measure of troponin THS in selected patients before the operation, along with stabilityor little increase of such values after the operation, were a reliable basis for a differential diagnosis to exclude acute myocardial infarction, when there was an absence of symptoms and an ECG unchanged after surgery.Key words: Troponin, acute myocardial infarction, vascular surgery, renal insufficiency, arteriopathy.
