Popis: Background Perioperative myocardial infarction/injury (PMI) occurring in the first 48h following noncardiac surgery is a frequent cardiac complication. Better understanding of the underlying aetiologies is urgently needed. Aim To explore the association of different aetiologies of PMI with long term outcomes. Methods In this prospective multicenter observational study, PMI aetiology was centrally adjudicated and hierarchically classified by two independent physicians based on all information obtained during clinically-indicated PMI work-up including cardiac imaging among consecutive high-risk patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery. PMI aetiology was classified into “extracardiac” if caused by a primarily extracardiac disease such as severe sepsis or pulmonary embolism; and “cardiac”, further subtyped into type 1 myocardial infarction (T1MI), tachyarrhythmia, acute heart failure (AHF), or likely type 2 myocardial infarction (lT2MI). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including T1MI, AHF (both only from day 3 to avoid inclusion bias), life-threatening arrhythmia, and cardiovascular death as well as all-cause death were assessed during 365-days follow-up. Results PMI occurred in 1016/7754 patients (13.1%). At least one MACE occurred in 684/7754 patients (8.8%) and 818/7754 patients died (10.5%) within 365 days. MACE and all-cause death occurred in 51% (95% CI 31–60) and 38% (95% CI 29–47), 41% (95% CI 28–51) and 27% (95% CI 16–34), 57% (95% CI 41–69) and 40% (95% CI 25–53), 64% (95% CI 45–76) and 49% (95% CI 30–62), as well as 25% (95% CI 22–28%) and 17% (95% CI 14–20) of patients with extracardiac PMI, T1MI, tachyarrhythmia, AHF, and lT2MI, respectively. These associations were confirmed in multivariable analysis. Conclusion At 365 days, most PMI aetiologies have unacceptably high rates of MACE and all-cause death, highlighting the urgent need for more intensive treatments.
