Cardiovascular
Optimising Perioperative Outcomes: A Practical Guide to Cardiac Biomarkers in Noncardiac Surgery
Cardio ThinkLab
8 December 2025
The 2025 Expert Consensus on cardiac biomarkers strongly recommends using hs-cTn, often combined with BNP/NT-proBNP, for both preoperative risk assessment and postoperative surveillance (daily for 48-72 hours) in high-risk patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. ...
