Perioperative myocardial infarction is a common complication associated with a 90-day mortality of 30%. The ability of the perioperative risk calculator to predict perioperative myocardial infarction was fair supporting its routine use.
Postoperative myocardial ischemia was common in peripheral vascular surgery patients and may progress to perioperative myocardial infarction. Ischemic load was a good predictor of perioperative myocardial infarction. Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring solutions for continuous postoperative ischemia detection are warranted in the surgical ward.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
