Expert consensus on peri-operative myocardial injury screening in noncardiac surgery Open
Peri-operative myocardial injury, detected by dynamic and elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations, is a common complication of noncardiac surgery that is strongly associated with 30-day mortality. Although active screening for peri-…

Testing the Restrictiveness and Generalizability of Randomized Controlled Trial Population Sampling using a Failed Perioperative Beta-Blocker Trial Open
BackgroundThe limited applicability of evidence from randomized controlled trials in real word practice is considered a potential bottleneck for evidence-based practice but rarely systematically assessed. Using our failure to recruit patie…

Feasibility of ultrasound measurement in a human model of acute compartment syndrome Open
We found that intracompartmental pressure of the anterior compartment of the calf can be well estimated by ultrasound-based ΔTFA in this post mortem experiment. Our findings indicate that non-invasive TFA measurement is feasible and it is …

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T Improves the Diagnosis of Perioperative MI Open
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after noncardiac surgery has traditionally relied on using relatively insensitive contemporary cardiac troponin (cTn) assays. We hypothesized that using a recently introduced novel hi…

High-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Elevation after Electroconvulsive Therapy Open
Background While electroconvulsive therapy is widely regarded as a lifesaving and safe procedure, evidence regarding its effects on myocardial cell injury is sparse. The objective of this investigation was to determine the incidence and ma…
