Management of Patients with Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Chart Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is associated with an increased incidence of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Little is known about how these patients are managed.

Results
