Compared with nonoperative myocardial infarction patients, perioperative myocardial infarction patients had elevated risk of all-cause mortality, venous thromboembolism, and acute kidney failure. In addition to the myocardial infarction component of perioperative myocardial infarction, this poor prognosis seemed associated with the surgery or underlying comorbidities. These findings warrant further research on strategies to reduce the risk of perioperative myocardial infarction and on strategies to manage perioperative myocardial infarction.
