Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery and Perioperative Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract: One in 60 patients who undergo major noncardiac surgery dies within 30 days following surgery. The most common cause is cardiac complications, of which myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) and perioperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) are common, affecting about 18 and 11% of adults, respectively, after noncardiac surgery. Patients who suffer MINS are at a higher risk of death compared to patients without MINS. Similarly, patients who develop POAF are at a higher risk of stroke and death compared t… Show more

“…Patients with high-risk features such as chest pain or electro cardiography changes may require inpatient cardiology assessment and urgent cardiac catheterization. 5 5 All patients with MINS, regardless of symptoms, should receive secondary prevention This includes acetylsalicylic acid, statin, and lifestyle modification. In a large randomized controlled trial, long-term treatment with dabigatran decreased major arterial and venous thrombotic complications without increasing bleeding and may be considered on a case-by-case basis.…”

“…Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the postoperative period, with 0.4-3% of patients affected after noncardiac surgery. 49 It can occur as a consequence of several factors, such as atrial stretch, ischemia, inflammation, hypoxemia, high sympathetic tone, and electrolyte disturbances. 50 Given that atrial fibrillation disrupts normal atrioventricular synchrony and can result in a 15-25% reduction in cardiac output, its management becomes particularly important in the HF patient.…”

“…In the perioperative medicine special issue (March 2021), we had the opportunity to discuss the current evidence for the management of patients with myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) and perioperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). 1 A specific concern was raised regarding the use of cardiovascular medications, especially Aspirin (ASA) and statin, to prevent further cardiovascular complications in the setting of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis suffering MINS. Our article intended to review the current evidence on MINS and POAF.…”
