No Long-Term Advantage Seen for Off-Pump Versus On-Pump CABG
Time to all-cause death or repeated revascularization shorter with off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Troponin Levels and Mortality After Cardiac Surgery Examined
Cardiac troponin levels linked to increased risk for 30-day mortality substantially higher than thresholds cited for periprocedural myocardial injury
ECG-Based Algorithm Predicts Long-Term Survival After Cardiac Surgery
Findings seen among patients with left ventricular ejection fraction >35 percent undergoing valve and/or coronary bypass surgery
