Key result
This narrative review provides an overview of the currently available evidence on the role of cardiac biomarkers in perioperative cardiac risk assessment and monitoring after noncardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Over 200 million people undergo noncardiac surgery annually with about 5% developing cardiovascular complications, making prevention, early recognition, and prompt treatment an important concern.
Does the use of cardiac biomarkers improve the prediction and detection of adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?

Cardiac biomarkers may aid perioperative risk assessment after noncardiac surgery; leaves open optimal use pending prospective validation.
Yearly, more than 200 million people worldwide undergo noncardiac surgery, of whom about 5% will develop cardiovascular complications. Prevention, early recognition, and prompt treatment of these adverse cardiovascular events is therefore an important concern in perioperative medicine. The present narrative review aims to provide an overview and critical analysis of the currently available evidence on the role of biomarkers in perioperative cardiac risk assessment and monitoring of perioperative cardiac events before and after noncardiac surgery.
