Serum Cardiac Markers Of Patients Before And After Upper Gastrointestinal System Endoscopy
Journal Title: Eurasian Journal of Family Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: Endoscopy is widely used to diagnose and treat gastrointestinal system diseases. It is a safe method but cardiopulmonary complications are the most common reasons about mortality. In this study we tried to determine early myocardial ischemia or infarction of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed patients by measured cardiac enzyme levels. Methods: Patients who had chest pain before endoscopy and didn’t have chronical disease were chosen for our study. In our restrospective cross sectional study, Troponin-I and CK-MB levels of patients before and 4 hours after endoscopy were taken from their files. Results: Twenty-one patients chosen for our study. Seven (33.3%) of them had elevated troponin-I levels; but they were within the range of limiting values. If we include all patients, troponin rise after endoscopy was statistically significant (p=0.01), but not pathologic. Conclusion: In our study, we tried to determine the risk of myocard ischemia or infarct on patients suffering from chest pain before endoscopy. There was no evidence of troponin-I and CK-MB values that lead to myocardial damage. No myocardial infarction detected. Our results were similar to other studies. We want to continue our study prospectively; by increasing number of patients,to pronounce certain results.
