Abstract

Diagnosis of postoperative myocardial infarction is often difficult, based on tools with a low sensitivity (clinical symptoms, EKG), or with a low specifity (old biomarkers, echocardiographic abnormalities) or inadequate for clinical practice (scintigraphy). Since 1995, clinicians may use more cardiospecific markers (troponin) allowing to modify strategy for postoperative myocardial infarction diagnosis. The aim of this review is to resume such an attitude.
