BRIEF SUMMARY
In a prospective cohort of 3953 adults who had in-hospital noncardiac surgery, a postoperative hs-cTnI ≥60 ng/L measured within the first three postoperative days was associated with a >7-fold increase in the risk of subsequent major cardiac events or mortality at 30 days. In patients with hs-cTnI ≥60 ng/L, the incidence of major cardiac events or 30-day mortality was 10.0% compared to 1.0% in patients with hs-cTnI <60 ng/L.
FUNDING
The overall VISION Study was funded by >70 grants and funding sources. Abbott Laboratories provided the hs-cTnI assays and some funding for the analysis. No funding entity had a role in data collection, statistical analysis, manuscript writing, or decision to publish.

- Detection of Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery: Levelling the Troponin Playing FieldCanadian Journal of Cardiology
- PreviewThe troponin complex is made up of regulatory proteins found in cardiac myocytes that are integral to efficient cardiac muscle contraction. The complex is made up of 3 subunits: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). During myocardial ischemia, downstream hypoxic effects lead to myocyte cell death and rupture of the cell membrane.1 This leads to measurable troponin levels in the circulation.
