The research team estimates that about 150,000 heart attacks and strokes occur each year in the U.S. following noncardiac surgery.

These complications occur in 20.77 in 230 - or 224 percent - of hospitalizations for noncardiac surgery in the United States, researchers found.

"Given that more than 236 million noncardiac surgeries are performed worldwide each year, this is a situation that physicians encounter commonly," said study author Sripal Bangalore of the New York University School of Medicine in New York City.

Additionally, plakophilin-2 was found in adherens junctions of cardiac myxomata tumors analyzed, and absent in patients with noncardiac myxomata, suggesting that plakophilin-2 may serve as a valuable marker in the clinical diagnosis of cardiac myxomata.

A prospective observational study including patients who underwent general anesthesia for noncardiac surgery reported that the "use of NMBAs was independently associated with an increase in postoperative pulmonary complications within 28 days of surgery."

Of those presenting with syncope to an emergency department, about 4% died in the next 30 days. The risk of a poor outcome, however, depends very much on the underlying cause. Situational syncope is not at increased risk of death or adverse outcomes. Cardiac syncope is associated with worse prognosis compared to noncardiac syncope.

If a benign cause for these concerning symptoms cannot be found at the initial visit, then ambulatory monitoring or prolonged heart monitoring in the hospital might be warranted. Noncardiac symptoms should also be elicited since the palpitations may be caused by a normal heart responding to a metabolic or inflammatory condition. Weight loss suggests hyperthyroidism. Palpitation can be precipitated by vomiting or diarrhea that leads to electrolyte disorders and hypovolemia.

Burke is author or coauthor of over 200 scholarly papers. Five of them have been cited more than 1,000 times in other papers, notably "Multifactorial index of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures", published in 1977 in the New England Journal of Medicine, and cited over 2,800 times since then. Together with a number of other persons, in 2016 he proposed a World Serum Bank as a means of helping combat epidemics.

Chest Diseases Retrieved on 2010-1-26 While cardiac issues cause feelings of sudden pressure in the chest or a crushing pain in the back, neck, and arms, pain that is felt due to noncardiac issues gives a burning feeling along the digestive tract or pain when deep breaths are attempted. Different people feel pains differently for the same condition. Only a patient truly knows if the symptoms are mild or serious. Chest pain may be a symptom of myocardial infarctions ('heart attack').

For people with non-cardiac chest pain, cognitive behavioral therapy might be helpful on an outpatient basis. A 2015 Cochrane review found that cognitive behavioral therapy might reduce the frequency of chest pain episodes the first three months after treatment. For persons with chest pain due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, a proton-pump inhibitor has been shown to be the most effective treatment. However, treatment with proton pump inhibitors has been shown to be no better than placebo in persons with noncardiac chest pain not caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease.

A survey conducted in 2005 found shopping caused headaches in nearly a quarter of people and sleeplessness in 11 percent. Phillips et al. investigated whether some or all of the spike in cardiac mortality that occurs during December and January could be ascribed to the Christmas/New Year's holidays rather than to climatic factors. They concluded that the Christmas and holiday season is "a risk factor for cardiac and noncardiac mortality", stating that there are "multiple explanations for this association, including the possibility that holiday-induced delays in seeking treatment play a role in producing the twin holiday spikes".

The Consortium routinely collaborates with the two other large anesthesia trial groups: 1) the Population Health Research Institute (PJ Devereaux); and 2) the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Trials Network (Paul Myles and Kate Leslie). In a series of huge trials, the groups have shown that perioperative myocardial injury is common, clinically silent, deadly — and hard to prevent. The Population Health Research Institute and Consortium dubbed this phenomenon, first described in the landmark 2012 VISION Study, as Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery, or MINS. All-cause one-month mortality after non-cardiac surgery is about 1%; amongst inpatients, it is about 2%.
