Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Plasma concentration of biomarkers (carnitine derivatives, tryptophan derivatives, L-citrulline, L-arginine, and other metabolites from energy, protein, and fat metabolism) before, within the first 24 hours, and after 3 to 6 days following cardiac surgery.<br>2. Inherited genomic variants and non-genetic parameters (mRNA expression, DNA methylation in peripheral blood) of enzymes involved in catecholamine, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, and of transport proteins in the liver and kidney.
