Intraoperative Hypotension and Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery in Adults With or Without Chronic Hypertension: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.
Abstract
The risk of myocardial injury progressively increases at intraoperative mean arterial pressures (MAPs) ≤65 mm Hg. Higher pressures might be required in chronically hypertensive patients. We aimed to test the hypothesis that the harm threshold is higher in patients with chronic hypertension than in normotensive patients.
