Maybe an easy/dumb question.
What does peri-operative myocardial infarction mean?
If a patient has an MI 2 weeks out from non-cardiac surgery, is this considered peri-operative?
If a patient has an MI on POD2 after being discharged home... is this peri-operative MI?
Can a person who had an MI the day BEFORE surgery be considered to have a peri-operative myocardial infarction?
Is there an actual definition and cutoff for periop MI?
Thanks in advance
