Excerpt

In this issue of the Journal, Ko et al. report on the results of a large population-based historical cohort study of noncardiac surgical patients in Ontario. The investigators aimed to define patterns of postoperative troponin testing for detecting perioperative myocardial infarction.1 The principal finding was that there was substantial variation in troponin testing among hospitals, which the authors suggest lends support to a more standardized approach to troponin testing. We use this opportunity to discuss the history of perioperative myocardial infarction and evolution to myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS); the prognosis, etiology, and management of MINS; and perioperative troponin monitoring. …
