Associations Between Cardiac Troponin, Mechanism of Myocardial Injury, and Long‐Term Mortality After Noncardiac Vascular Surgery

Associations Between Cardiac Troponin, Mechanism of Myocardial Injury, and Long‐Term Mortality After Noncardiac Vascular Surgery

BackgroundThe time‐sensitive hazard of perioperative cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevation and whether long‐term mortality differs by mechanism of myocardial injury are poorly understood. Methods and ResultsIn this observational study of 12 882 patients who underwent noncardiac vascular surgery, patie...
