Clinical, procedural, and laboratory data on 1,157 consecutive patients who underwent nonemergency percutaneous coronary intervention were analyzed. Troponin I elevations were found to occur often after percutaneous coronary intervention, with large elevations associated with a greater than twofold increase in risk of death after multivariate adjustment.
