Research Article: Intraoperative Variables Enhance the Predictive Performance of Myocardial Injury in Patients with High Cardiovascular Risk After Thoracic Surgery When Added to Baseline Prediction Model
Introduction:
Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) has been defined as postoperative troponin elevation caused by myocardial ischemia within days after surgery, and it does not require ischemic characteristics. It is estimated that one out of every seven surgical patients over years old with an increased risk of perioperative cardiovascular (CV) events suffered from MINS. In the largest cohort study of cardiovascular events in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (VISION), the incidence of MINS after thoracic…
