One-Year Mortality, Causes of Death, and Cardiac Interventions in Patients with Postoperative Myocardial Injury

Abstract

Postoperative myocardial injury was associated with an increased risk of 1-year all-cause but not cardiac mortality. A cardiac consultation with intervention was performed in less than half of these patients. The small number of interventions may be explained by a low suspicion of a cardiac etiology in most patients and lack of consensus for standardized treatment in these patients.
