Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery and its association with short-term mortality.

چکیده
BACKGROUND To identify patients at risk for postoperative myocardial injury and death, measuring cardiac troponin routinely after noncardiac surgery has been suggested. Such monitoring was implemented in our hospital. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of postoperative myocardial injury, as measured by troponin elevation, on 30-day mortality after noncardiac surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS This observational, single-center cohort study included 2232 consecutive intermediate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery patients aged ≥60 years who underwent surgery in 2011. Troponin was measured on the first 3 postoperative days. Log binomial regression analysis was used to estimate the association between postoperative myocardial injury (troponin I level >0.06 μg/L) and all-cause 30-day mortality. Myocardial injury was found in 315 of 1627 patients in whom troponin I was measured (19%). All-cause death occurred in 56 patients (3%). The relative risk of a minor increase in troponin (0.07-0.59 μg/L) was 2.4 (95% confidence interval, 1.3-4.2; P<0.01), and the relative risk of a 10- to 100-fold increase in troponin (≥0.60 μg/L) was 4.2 (95% confidence interval, 2.1-8.6; P<0.01). A myocardial infarction according to the universal definition was diagnosed in 10 patients (0.6%), of whom 1 (0.06%) had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative myocardial injury is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality after noncardiac surgery. Implementation of postoperative troponin monitoring as standard of care is feasible and may be helpful in improving the prognosis of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Associations Between Cardiac Troponin, Mechanism of Myocardial Injury, and Long‐Term Mortality After Noncardiac Vascular Surgery
BACKGROUND The time-sensitive hazard of perioperative cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevation and whether long-term mortality differs by mechanism of myocardial injury are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS In this observational study of 12 882 patients who underwent noncardiac vascular surgery, patients were assessed for cTnT sampling within 96 hours postoperatively. Mortality out to 5-years...

PURPOSE The benefits of prophylactic coronary revascularization for patients undergoing noncardiac surgery are uncertain. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the effect of coronary revascularization and medical management on short- and long-term outcomes after noncardiac surgery.

متن کاملDetection and management of asymptomatic myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery.
Surgery and the subsequent recovery are serious circulatory stress tests that may result in symptomatic cardiac events in vulnerable patients. Despite efforts to prevent the occurrence of postoperative adverse events, myocardial infarction following noncardiac surgery remains common. Even more worrisome, the typical symptoms of myocardial ischaemia, such as chest pain, are easily masked by post...
متن کاملMyocardial injury after noncardiac surgery.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent investigations have substantially improved our understanding of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). RECENT FINDINGS MINS is defined as a prognostically relevant myocardial injury due to ischemia that occurs during or within 30 days after noncardiac surgery. MINS occurs in 8% of adults undergoing major noncardiac surgery and is diagnosed with an elevated...
