Objective To investigate the risk factors and prognosis of perioperative myocardial infarction in the patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods Clinical data of 562 patients who had accepted non-cardiac surgery was collected and retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors, treatments and outcomes of all these patients were recorded and analyzed. Results A total of 19 out of the 562 patients had perioperative myocardial infarction ( PMI) . The incidence was 3. 4% . The mean occurrence time was (43. 5 ± 12. 7)h after operation. Eleven PMI patients (11 ∕ 19) were non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and eight patients (8 ∕ 19) were ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Thirteen PMI patients were left coronary artery occlusion and six patients were right coronary artery occlusion. Advanced age, history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, change of ST-T segment on electrocardiography (ECG), multivessel diseases, diabetes,hypertension,and high risk non-cardiac surgery were the risk factors of PMI and positively correlated to PMI. Sixteen PMI (16 ∕ 19) patients accepted PCI treatment and three patients (3 ∕ 19) accepted drug conservative treatment. Two patients had unstable angina attack after treatment and one patient had arrhythmia. The heart function in two patients decreased by one or more than one class within the follow up of 1 year. No patient had recurrent acute myocardial infarction or deceased during follow-up. Conclusions Many factors could lead to PMI. Making preoperative assessment, recognizing patients of high risks and dealing with patients who had PMI in time was necessary.
