Background There is uncertainty regarding the prognostic value of troponin and creatine
kinase muscle and brain isoenzyme measurements after noncardiac surgery. Methods The …

Background: Patients undergoing non-cardiac, non-vascular surgery are at risk of major
cardiovascular complications. In non-cardiac surgery, troponin elevation has previously …

Background—To identify patients at risk for postoperative myocardial injury and death,
measuring cardiac troponin routinely after noncardiac surgery has been suggested. Such …

BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been increasing focus on the use of cardiac
biomarkers in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. AIMS The aim of this focused …

Background—The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST)
found a higher risk of stroke after carotid artery stenting and a higher risk of myocardial …

Peri-operative myocardial injury, detected by dynamic and elevated cardiac troponin (cTn)
concentrations, is a common complication of noncardiac surgery that is strongly associated …

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the role of routine troponin surveillance in patients undergoing
major noncardiac surgery, unblinded screening with cardiac consultation per protocol was …

Objective Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is usually performed under general anesthesia
(GA), although some advocate regional anesthesia (RA) to reduce hemodynamic instability …

We evaluated risks of MI and stroke in elderly patients with hip fracture compared with the
general population. We also examined the interaction between hip fracture and comorbidity …

Background Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery is diagnosed following
asymptomatic troponin elevation in the perioperative interval. Myocardial injury after non …
