Purpose Of Review: Acute myocardial injury occurs commonly during perioperative care. There is still considerable confusion regarding its diagnosis and definition, and a lack of consensus on who and how to screen, exacerbated by a lack of studies addressing how to manage patients with detected myocardial injury.
Recent Findings: Far from a benign biochemical anomaly, myocardial injury occurring perioperatively is largely a silent disease and is not necessarily because of ischaemia. Preoperative, postoperative, and perioperative changes in cardiac troponins (cTns) are independently associated with increased mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Routine screening with cTns is required for reliable detection of myocardial injury. Measurement of changes (from preoperative to postoperative) will detect acute events as well as identify patients with chronic troponin increases.
Summary: This review aims to bring together current literature regarding myocardial injury that is detected perioperatively, identifies knowledge gaps for future research and provides suggestions for management.

Chronic kidney disease as a predictor of long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with aortoiliac disease: a prospective cohort study.
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Campus of Gambelas, University of Algarve, Faro, Portugal.
Background: Aortoiliac disease poses a significant cardiovascular (CV) risk, especially in individuals with chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to assess the predictive role of chronic kidney disease in long-term major adverse CV events in patients submitted to aortoiliac revascularization due to severe aortoiliac atherosclerotic disease.
Methods: From 2013 to 2023, patients who underwent aortoiliac revascularization for TASC II type D lesions, including those with chronic kidney disease, were selected from a prospective cohort study.

Impact of vasopressin use for postoperative atrial fibrillation in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
Nagoya J Med Sci
November 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya, Japan.
Postoperative atrial fibrillation complicates 15-40% of cardiac surgery cases and is associated with various adverse health outcomes including high mortality. Although vasopressin administration decreases postoperative atrial fibrillation in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, its use in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has not been investigated. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of vasopressin use in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Klinikum Nürnberg, Paracelsus Medical University, Nuremberg, Germany.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the association between interatrial conduction block and postoperative atrial fibrillation, which can precipitate acute cardiopulmonary instability and is associated with subsequent heart failure, stroke, and mortality following cardiac surgery.
Methods: Perioperative 12-channel electrocardiograms from 3405 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization, valve surgery, aortic surgery, or combinations thereof, were considered. Clinical and electrographic parameters were compared between patients with and without atrial fibrillation, and significant variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Mangiferin Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Regulating the GAS6/Axl Signaling Pathway.
Phytother Res
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, The Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Ischemia reperfusion-induced myocardial injury is a prominent pathological feature in patients with coronary artery disease, contributing to significant mortality and morbidity rates. Mangiferin (MGF), the main active ingredient extracted from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge, has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetes, and anti-tumor effects. The present study confirmed that the GAS6/Axl pathway was identified as a promising novel target for the treatment of myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury.
