Predictive value of high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (cTnT) for adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA)

Elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a well-known biomarker to predict cardiac events following non-cardiac surgery. However, further information regarding high-sensitive cTnT in orthopedic surgery, especially total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is not present yet. This study aims to gain further insight into the predictive value of high-sensitive cTnT in adverse cardiac events in patients accepting TKA. We performed a prospective...
