Randomized Controlled Trial[Remifentanil preconditioning lowers cardiac troponin I levels in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery].
To investigate the value of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in assessing myocardial protection by remifentanil precondition against myocardial injury induced by off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). ⋯ Remifentanil preconditioning decreases the cTnI levels and reduces myocardial injury induced by OPCAB.
