| In recent years, with the increasing number of patients undergoing thoracic surgery, the incidence of myocardial injury after thoracic surgery should not be underestimated. Patients rarely have symptoms related to myocardial ischemia, so it is difficult to identify postoperative myocardial injury. It is estimated that about 27% patients suffer from myocardial injury during or within 30 days after thoracic surgery.Postoperative myocardial injury is associated with long hospitalization time, increased medical expenses, and long-term renal insufficiency. At present, there is no effective treatment for postoperative myocardial injury. Therefore, early identification, early diagnosis, and timely intervention are of vital importance for postoperative myocardial injury. In this paper, the epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, risk factors, and related biomarkers of myocardial injury, prevention, and treatment after thoracic surgery are reviewed with the aim of providing guidance for improving clinical management. |
