In summary, myocardial injury is common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and not exclusive to those with ACS or PE. In this single-centre, single-timepoint convalescent study, myocardial injury was associated with cardiac abnormalities detected by CMR where troponin elevation is unexplained even when cardiac function is normal.
DNC provides equivalent myocardial protection, efficacy, and surgical workflow and had comparable clinical outcomes to that of BC. This study shows that DNC is a safe alternate to BC in CABG and valve surgeries.
