Long-term major adverse cardiovascular events following myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery: meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery is diagnosed following asymptomatic troponin elevation in the perioperative interval. Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery is associated with high mortality rates and significant rates of major adverse cardiac events within the first 30 days following surgery. However, less is known regarding its impact on mortality and morbidity beyond this time. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to establish the rates of long-term morbidity and mortality associated with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery.

Methods

MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched, and abstracts screened by two reviewers. Observational studies and control arms of trials, reporting mortality and cardiovascular outcomes beyond
