Table 3:

Markers of myocardial damage

Marker Group Before RIPC 6 h after CPB 24 h after CPB 48 h after CPB
cTnI (ng/ml) RIPC 0.01 (0.01; 0.01) 2.13 (1.27; 3.15)^ 0.93 (0.45; 2.21)^ 0.76 (0.2; 1.09)^
Control 0.01 (0.01; 0.01) 2.37 (1.48; 5.36)^ 0.87 (0.58; 2.46)^ 0.54 (0.39; 2)^
CK-MB (U/l) RIPC 20 (14; 22) 45.5 (32; 53.5)^ 48.5 (32; 66)^ 49.5 (42; 70)^
Control 18 (14; 23) 39 (33; 58)^ 45 (33; 58)^ 47.5 (38.5; 69.5)^

Difference confidence level: *P < 0.05 when RIPC patients are compared with the control group, ^P < 0.05 when compared with values before CPB.
