The Importance of Myocardial Protection and Other Markers in Cardiac Surgery

Letter to the Editor

Abstract

Dear Editor,

The aim of this study is to provide information about perfusion markers used in cardiac surgery and to emphasise the importance of these markers in clinical practice.

Perfusion markers are important tools used to evaluate the circulatory status of the heart and myocardial oxygenation during cardiac surgery. These markers may include various measurements such as perfusion pressure, blood gases, lactate levels, some biochemical parameters. Clinical monitoring of these markers is critical in assessing the patient's cardiovascular status and guiding the treatment plan if necessary.

Studies show that perfusion markers play an important role in determining the risk of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. In particular, monitoring of these markers in case of inadequate perfusion or deterioration of circulatory status allows early diagnosis and intervention of possible complications. This may significantly affect the clinical outcome of the patient.

In this context, further research is needed for a more widespread use of perfusion markers in clinical practice and a better understanding of the meaning of these markers. Furthermore, the use of these markers should be standardised and monitored by highly trained healthcare personnel (1-3).

I would like to ask you to support the publication of articles that will provide more information on perfusion markers and bring this important topic to a wider audience.

Best regards.
