2 Fig 1 Receiver operating characteristic curves for all procedures (squares) and patients who had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) only (circles), valve only (triangles), and combined CABG/valve procedures (asterisk). The point of maximal inflection, where troponin is most predictive of poor major adverse cardiovascular events is indicated on each line (all, CABG-only and vValve-only is 0.8 μg/L; combined, 1.3 μg/L).
