Background There is substantial variability in the perioperative administration of aspirin in
patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, both among patients who are already on an aspirin …

Background: Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) seems to be a contributor to mortality
after noncardiac surgery. Because the vast majority of PMIs are asymptomatic, PMI usually is …

Background Marked activation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs during and after
noncardiac surgery. Low-dose clonidine, which blunts central sympathetic outflow, may …

Objectives : The objective of this study was to determine whether measuring post-operative
B-type natriuretic peptides (NPs) (ie, B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP] and N-terminal …

Background— Volatile anesthetics provide myocardial preconditioning in coronary surgery
patients. We hypothesized that sevoflurane compared with propofol reduces the incidence of …

Background: Preliminary data suggest that preoperative N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic
peptide (NT-proBNP) may improve risk prediction in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. …

To assess the accuracy of increased troponin (Tn) concentrations for the prediction of mid-term
(≥12 months) mortality after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and valve surgery, we …

Aims Perioperative myocardial infarction/injury (PMI) following non-cardiac surgery is a
frequent cardiac complication. Better understanding of the underlying aetiologies and outcomes …

Objectives : The aims of this study were to perform an individual patient data meta-analysis
of studies using B-type natriuretic peptides (BNPs) to predict the primary composite endpoint …

Aims Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) triggered by non-cardiac surgery are prognostically
important perioperative complications. However, due to often asymptomatic presentation…
