Perioperative myocardial ischemia and isolated systolic hypertension in non-cardiac surgery.

Department of Anesthesiology, University of Ottawa, 1053 Carling Ave (B3), Ottawa, ON K1Y 4E9, Canada.
Purpose: To determine whether patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) undergoing non-cardiac surgery have a higher incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia than normotensive patients and hence a greater risk for perioperative adverse events.
Methods: After obtaining Research Ethics Board approval, patients were recruited to either an ISH group (systolic blood pressure [SBP] > 140 mmHg with diastolic blood pressure [DBP] < 90 mmHg) or a normotensive group (SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg), according to their resting preoperative blood pressure. The primary outcome was the overall incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia (PMI) as determined by 48-hr ambulatory Holter monitoring.

Department of Anesthesia, University of Ottawa, B309, 1053 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K1Y 4E9, Canada.
Purpose: To report transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) findings consistent with intraoperative acute diastolic dysfunction in a series of patients undergoing thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair.
Methods: A series of nine consecutive patients underwent TAAA repair with intraoperative TEE monitoring. Surgical repair was performed with the adjunct of a left atrio-femoral bypass.
