Abstract
BACKGROUND: Troponin I is used to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI). Its use and pattern of elevation is not well defined in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This study assessed the timing of troponin I elevation in patients undergoing urgent CABG. METHOD: Patients undergoing urgent isolated-CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass were studied prospectively. Blood samples were taken to measure CK, CK-MB, and troponin I: preoperatively, 7 hours postoperatively, 14 to 18 hours postoperatively, 30 to 48 hours postoperatively, and on postoperative day 4. Electrocardiograms and in-hospital course were recorded. Perioperative MI (PMI) was defined by either (i) ECG criteria of new Q-waves in the presence of CK-MB elevation >50 microg/L or (ii) CK-MB > 100 microg/L. RESULTS: Of the 50 patients studied, 6 met the criteria for PMI (12%); 2 by criteria (i) and 4 by criteria (ii). In patients not meeting the criteria for MI the troponin I level peaked at 7 hour post-op with a mean of 20.97 microg/L (95% CI, 17.11 to 24.83). At this time, patients who met the criteria for MI had a mean troponin I level of 46.85 microg/L (95% CI, 36.40 to 57.30). Of variables investigated for the 44 patients who did not meet MI criteria, only preoperative troponin I level impacted peak postoperative troponin I. CONCLUSIONS: CABG elevates troponin I far beyond current diagnostic benchmarks without the clinical occurrence of a MI and appears to peak during the second postoperative day. An elevated preoperative troponin I may predict an elevated peak postoperative troponin I in patients who do not have a PMI.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
