Perioperative myocardial injury was very common among older patients after major noncardiac surgery and associated with substantially higher 1-year risks of all-cause mortality and MACE.
Is perioperative myocardial injury/infarction associated with higher mortality and MACE in older patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery?
