Prognostic value of preoperative echocardiography in predicting myocardial injury after open abdominal aortic surgery.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and peripheral arterial and aortic diseases (PAADs) are associated with increased risk of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). ⋯ Our study suggests that routine preoperative TTE may be moderately useful in the prediction of MINS among patients undergoing high‑risk vascular surgery.

However, it remains unknown whether this increase varies between sexes. ⋯ Men experienced more adverse cardiovascular outcomes than women in long follow‑up after AP, suggesting a need for sex‑specific management strategies in AP patients.
