Donor cardiac troponin I levels do not predict recipient survival after cardiac transplantation.
J Heart Lung Transplant. 2007; (10): 1048-53
Serum levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are frequently measured in the evaluation of potential heart donors. However, the utility of cTnI levels for predicting recipient outcomes remains controversial. This study was performed to determine whether donor cardiac cTnI levels exceeding 1.0 microg/liter are associated with adverse recipient outcomes.
