Does intraoperative hypotension associate with postoperative myocardial injury and mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
The depth of intraoperative hypotension may be a more critical factor than its duration in contributing to postoperative myocardial injury and mortality after noncardiac surgery.
Intraoperative hypotension appears to have a graded association with postoperative myocardial injury and mortality, with depth appearing to contribute more than duration.
Wesselink et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
