The effect of two diagnostic criteria for cTn on detecting the incidence of myocardial injury after oesophageal cancer surgery with aggressive or standard body temperature management. a Incidence of myocardial injury after curative resection of oesophageal cancer. b Venn diagram of the two diagnostic criteria for cTn. c Scatter plots of cTnI and hs-cTnT (210 pairs of samples at postoperative 6 h ~ 12 h, 24 h and 48 h). The data above the horizontal line conform to the diagnostic criteria for cTnI. The data to the right side of the vertical line conform to the diagnostic criteria for hs-cTnT (the dotted vertical line represents hs-cTnT ≥0.065 g/L, and the solid vertical line represents 0.02 g/L ≤ hs-cTnT < 0.065 g/L; hs-cTnT was increased by at least 0.005 g/L compared with the preoperative level). The triangles represent the aggressive body temperature management group, and the circles represent the standard body temperature management group
