The aim of this study was to investigate whether preoperative B-type natriuretic peptides serves as an independent predictor of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) in abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair.
The incidence of MINS was compared between the lower BNP and higher BNP groups, and a stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the predictors for MINS.
