TL;DR: Among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, the peak postoperative troponin T measurement during the first 3 days after surgery was significantly associated with 30-day mortality.

TL;DR: Administration of aspirin before surgery and throughout the early postsurgical period had no significant effect on the rate of a composite of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction but increased the risk of major bleeding.

TL;DR: Administration of low-dose clonidine in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery did not reduce the rate of the composite outcome of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction; it did, however, increase the risk of clinically important hypotension andNonfatal cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: The role of the revised cardiac risk index in risk stratification has recently been challenged by studies reporting on the superior predictive ability of pre‐operative B‐type natriuretic peptides, but it is found that in 850 vascular surgical patients initially risk stratified using B‐ type natriurestic peptide, reclassification with the number of revised cardiacrisk index risk factors worsened risk Stratification.

TL;DR: The study strongly suggests that the administration of fibrinogen concentrates at low dose is not associated with thromboembolic complications or adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery.
