Risicoschatting en reductie strategieën in chirurgische patiënten
Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is one of the most important predictors of short- and long term morbidity and mortality associated with noncardiac surgery3‑6. Prevention of a PMI is therefore key to improving overall postoperative outcome. Unfortunately, the exact mechanism of PMI is not fully understood and remains a subject of continued debate3,4,6. Chapter one describes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of perioperative myocardial infarctions.
