Vascular Events In Noncardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation Study (VISION)
Vascular Events In Noncardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation Study (VISION)

NCT00512109

CompletedN/A

Sponsor: McMaster University

Conditions: Vascular Death, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac Arrest, Stroke

Countries: Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Spain

The investigators' study has 4 primary objectives. Among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery the investigators will determine: (1) the incidence of major perioperative vascular events; (2) the optimal clinical model to predict major perioperative vascular events; (3) the proportion of patients with perioperative myocardial infarctions that may go undetected without perioperative troponin monitoring; and (4) the relationship between postoperative troponin measurements and the 1 year risk of vascular death.
