Altered preoperative coagulation and fibrinolysis are associated with myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS), a complication with unclear pathogenesis, occurs within the first 30 days after surgery and worsens prognosis. Hypercoagulability induced by surgery might contribute to plaque rupture, with subsequent thrombosis and myocardial injury. This study assessed haemostatic markers before surgery and evaluated their association with MINS.
METHODS: This is a substudy of VISION, a …
