Why the study?
Does postoperative myocardial ischemia affect cytokine response and postoperative infections in patients undergoing elective major noncardiac surgery?
Does postoperative myocardial ischemia affect cytokine response and postoperative infections in patients undergoing elective major noncardiac surgery?
Postoperative myocardial ischemia is associated with an augmented IL-10 cytokine response and subsequent severe infections or sepsis after major noncardiac surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link POMI to amplified cytokine responses in sepsis; hypothesis-generating for causality in noncardiac surgery.
Spies et al. (2002) studied this question.
