Innovative Myocardial Protection in Cardiac Surgery: Anesthetic Strategies and Novel Biomarkers

This Research Topic centers on myocardial protection and reperfusion injury in cardiac surgery, viewed through the lens of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia and intensive care. It will integrate:o Comparative effects of volatile anesthetics versus propofol based regimens on ischemia–reperfusion injury and perioperative myocardial infarctiono Mechanistic interactions where propofol may attenuate or modify volatile anesthetic–mediated cardioprotectiono Trial designs and translational studies assessing anesthetic protocols specifically for myocardial protection on and off cardiopulmonary bypasso Emerging biomarkers such as cardiac myosin binding protein C (cMyC) compared with conventional troponins for early detection of perioperative myocardial injuryo Use of biomarker guided strategies for risk stratification, ICU monitoring, and targeted cardioprotective interventionso Methodological manuscripts on assay standardization, cut offs, and integration into perioperative care pathwaysBy combining anesthetic technique optimization with cutting edge biomarker science, this Topic aims to advance organ protection strategies in cardiothoracic anesthesiology.
