Background: Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) seems to be a contributor to mortality
after noncardiac surgery. Because the vast majority of PMIs are asymptomatic, PMI usually is …

Background: The European Society of Cardiology recommends a 0/1-hour algorithm for
rapid rule-out and rule-in of non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction using high …

Background: Uncertainties regarding the most appropriate definition and treatment of type 2
myocardial infarction (T2MI) due to supply-demand mismatch have contributed to …

Aims Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) triggered by non-cardiac surgery are
prognostically important perioperative complications. However, due to often asymptomatic …

Objective Assess the relative incidence and compare characteristics and outcome of
unstable angina (UA) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Design Two …

0.13 [95% CI, 0.09–0.19]) and allowed the rule-out of a similar portion of patients compared
with the 0/3halgorithm (52% versus 51%; P= 0.507; Figure). Overall, 711 patients (28%) …

Background The clinical availability of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) has enabled
the development of several innovative strategies for the rapid rule-out of acute myocardial …

Background We aimed to directly compare preoperative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-
cTn) I and T concentration for the prediction of major cardiac complications after non-cardiac …

BACKGROUND This study aimed to prospectively advance a rule-out strategy for
functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD) by use of high-sensitivity cardiac …

Background The value of the 12-lead ECG in the diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial
infarction (NSTEMI) is limited due to insufficient sensitivity and specificity of standard ECG …
