Soft tissue gas gangrene with myonecrosis is a severe complication of traumatic and non-traumatic conditions with a potentially lethal outcome.
2
Conclusions: Cardiac troponin I could be elevated in a number of conditions, apart from acute myocardial infarction, and could reflect myonecrosis.
3
After the development of troponin assays for the detection of myonecrosis, the universal definition and classification of myocardial infarction now indicates the underlying pathophysiology.
4
Results: Post-PCI myonecrosis was defined as a next-day troponin I greater than 5 times the upper limit of reference range and greater than baseline levels.
5
Conclusions: Myonecrosis after percutaneous intervention is common in a high-risk referral population dominated by atheroablation and stent use.
