Perioperative myocardial injury is associated with increased postoperative non-cardiac complications in patients undergoing vascular surgery: a post hoc analysis of a randomised clinical pilot trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elevated cardiac biomarkers, such as high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin T and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide improve the prediction of major adverse cardiac events. However, very few trials have investigated the association between perioperative cardiac injury and non-cardiac complications. The primary aim of this study was to determine the association between peri-operative myocardial injury and non-cardiac complications in patients undergoing vascular surgery. Additionally, the association between elevated pre-operative high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin T or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and non-cardiac complications was explored.

Methods

This study is a post hoc analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial. Patients were recruited
